5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book. Very well written and very understandable, 1 April 2001
By A Customer
I am an IT consultant working with operational support systems for broadband networks. Timothy Kwok's book is very clearly written and is both an enjoyable read and a useful reference guide. Kwok introduces the fundamental concepts of networking from first principles, and goes on to explain why ATM is such a powerful technology for new network applications. The later chapters go right into the guts of ATM, but in an easy to understand style. I have gained so much more out of this book than just ATM, and I haven't even finished it yet. I would recommend it to anyone, from the senior manager wanting a good overview (read the first 8 chapters), to the hardened ATM professional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good discussion leading to why high speed networks are used, 8 Jun 1999
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Instructive and practical, 2 Feb 1999
By A Customer
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.
