For upper level ISDN, Advanced Networking and Telecommunications courses found in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Computer Technology, and Electrical Engineering departments. This book provides a comprehensive, authoritative overview of the technology and standards of ISDN and Broadband ISDN. It is the only textbook treatment of ISDN and comes complete with numerous pedagogical features.

  • Presents the most complete and authoritative exploration of ISDN available in a text of this kind.
  • Provides thorough coverage of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) including the new technology, standards, and other developments in this leading-edge area.
  • Provides a discussion of frame relay that incorporates the most important advances in both technology and standards in this area crucial to ISDN and private networks.
  • Provides a full treatment of standards, the key determining factor in ISDN and B-ISDN. Students will gain a valuable understanding of the various standards, including, among others:

    • ITU-T recommendations.

    • Frame Relay Forum specifications.

    • ATM Forum specifications.

  • Contains a wealth of pedagogical features (e.g. homework problems, glossary, list of acronyms, and chapter summaries) to facilitate learning, making this the only true textbook-style treatment of ISDN.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
  • NEW - Includes new material on xDSL and ADSL as well as ATM traffic and on the available bit rate (ABR) service of ATM.
  • NEW - Provides updated coverage of ITU-T standards and ATM Forum standards.
  • NEW - Provides solutions to all homework problems in the solutions manual.

I have not found a text that provides a more comprehensive treatment of the topics contained in this text, ranging from ISDN and Broadband ISDN to frame relay and ATM. -Thomas Gannon, Adjunct Professor, Electric and Computer Engineering Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Best-selling author William Stallings provides an in-depth presentation of the technology and architecture of integrated services digital networks (ISDN). This book covers the integrated digital network (IDN), ISDN services, architecture, signaling system no. 7 (SS7) and includes a comprehensive treatment of the ITU-T protocol standards. Detailed coverage of protocols and congestion control strategies for both frame relay and ATM are also provided.

New to this edition:

  • Coverage of the new digital susbscriber line technologies, including ADSL.
  • Expanded coverage of ATM services and traffic control, including the ABR.
  • Updated coverage of ATM Forum specifications.
  • Web page for the book to provide further information and links to related sites.
