Very Good for Begineering to Learn about ATM/home computing
Before I started reading this book I had some idea about ATM. Author explains from scratch giving good background about basic communication systems and then starts with why ATM? ,ATM protocol ,reference model and AALx. Finally covering the current trend in home computing . In generally this book is good start for the people who knows IP and whats to know about ATM and this is a good self study book.

Good discussion leading to why high speed networks are used
It goes into the basics of bandwidth calculation, leading up to the technologies used to support the different kind of services.If one were to look for a good read, this book is a good start for a newbie. This book could be used as a pre-cursor to an indepth research into new technologies. ADSL, ATM, ISDN is mentioned in the book. Lastly, this book is not drab and has some humour in it.

Instructive and practical
I am an Telco engineer implementing adsl and cable modem networks for broadband access service in China. The book came just in time for me because my company is in the stage of building an ATM network providing service like Internet surfing and experimental vod etc via adsl and cable modem. And this book has given us quite clear an infrastructure for the practice.
