ATI's Understanding ATM Technology and Design course

Summary: This course provides an introduction to the basic concepts and techniques used in ATM based communications networks. The course begins with a review of circuit and packet switching techniques, Local Area Networks (LAN), Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) and Wide Area Networks (WAN). Overview of packet-switched data networks and modern data services such as X.25, Narrowband ISDN, Frame relay, and Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS) are presented. ATM standards and protocols; ATM layer, ATM adaptation layer and physical layer are described. ATM categories of transport services and Quality of Service parameters are presented. The course also examines the issues in integration of data, voice, and video over high speed broadband networks. Several ATM switching architectures are presented and their performance compared. Call and connection control, traffic control and network management are discussed. Mechanisms of Classical IP over ATM, LAN Emulation, and Multiprotocol over ATM are covered. Finally, SONET networking is described as the foundation for the high-speed transmission network. This course is intended for graduate students, system engineers, software designers, R&D Managers, and Professionals involved or interested in design, deployment and operation of ATM networks. A complete set of notes and exercises will be provided. The course material has been designed and tested in various training environments and has been optimized for current industry needs. An extensive set of graphical notes, hand outs and exercise are provided to enhance the learning process. Each day ends with some review and discussion sessions and exercises.
