COURSE OVERVIEW

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a widely deployed technology known for its flexibility and support of multimedia data traffic. ATM is a key component of broadband ISDN (B-ISDN) and for some people, it still holds promise as a single integrating network technology. However, it’s also a very complex technology to learn and manage.

This ATM Training or Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Training course, designed as a practical survival guide, deals with all of the key ATM issues including architecture, user-network interface, LAN and WAN implementation, enhanced functionality, network management using SNMP, traffic engineering, and more. You will go away from this course with a solid set of skills to help deal with your ATM network

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
