Summary: Useful, clear if a little heavy.
Review: A very useful book, broad in scope and clear in presentation I found it to be a reliable source. The only irritation; acronyms are allowed to flourish to an oppressive degree.Good Value

Summary: Required Reference
Review: I suppose that if someone were ready to tackle the next big protocol on his or her summer learning list, this probably wouldn't be the book to pick up. However for the enterprise professional that is already up on the protocols, this is an excellent reference. This book has been an invaluable resource for both myself and everyone in my organization. (We have multiple copies between us, and it's still difficult to find a copy!) So if you are just coming into the ATM world you should probably get some background and basics, but when you are ready to implement that enterprise solution and need to understand just what that Segmentation and Reassembly Sublayer is doing to your IP packets, You'll pick up this book without even thinking about it. All in all I have found this book to be an excellent investment.

Summary: Highly technical and informative book on ATM
Review: Read this book and become an expert on ATM. This book, however, is highly technical and requires a lot of discipline to get through the book.
Rating: 
Summary: Only for people who already understand ATM
Review: This book is very dry and best used as a supplement for another book. If you are just starting out then this book is not for you. The price is good though.

Summary: The best ATM book I have bought! (and I have bought several)
Review: This is the only book I know that covers more than the typical cell structure, layer model and traffic shapping algorithms in ATM. Chapter 4 explains very well the strategies for transporting IP over ATM (Classical IP, LANE, MPOA, MPLS, Tag Switching,, etc.), and PPP over ATM. It is recommended for readers who already have the theoretical ATM background, but wants to Implement real ATM networks. (It is also suitable for beginners in this field, that are not interested in very technical details about ATM).
