ATM networks, SONET lines, frame relay networks, X.25 facilities, ISDN circuits, and conventional telephony lines coexist in a complex tapestry of networks. This book clearly explains each of these technologies in detail, describes how they interoperate, and explains how voice and data networks are merging. This book is an authoritative resource that will enable network designers and implementors to thoroughly understand each technology and determine when and where to use each type of component in their networks. A comprehensive guide to the latest in wide area technologies. - Back cover.
