Course in a Nutshell: 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 the single integrating network technology. However, it’s also a very complex technology to learn and manage.

This 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.

Customize It!: Let us know your background and reason for studying ATM so we can customize the course to your specific needs. If you need to learn SONET/SDH, SNMP, or other technologies in conjunction with ATM, we can also structure combination courses for you. Most customization is performed at little to no added charge.
