A very good, concise guide to internetworking with ATM.

While this book is not an introduction to ATM (it is, after all, Volume III) I was able to gain a good understanding of how ATM can work together with Frame Relay--a WAN solution I am currently implementing. I found Mr. Black's concise style to be especially helpful. While techno-speak cannot be avoided in books of this type Mr. Black did a good job of keeping the techno-speak to the point. He did not wander into the endless technical backwaters that so many technical writers seem to love. He provided the technical content to make his point, well-illustrated with charts and diagrams to clarify and reinforce each point.I believe this book will appeal to those who already know something of ATM and now need to know about the various aspects of internetworking with ATM: LANE, Frame Relay encapsulation, Frame Relay-ATM mapping, MPOA, Next Hop Resolution Protocol, etc. It is not so much a book of ATM how-to as it is of how it all works together.While I swallowed hard at the price for a book this size, I believe I received good value when I consider how content-rich this book is. I rate this book at 3 and 1/2 stars.
