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
