Re: ATM: hardware or software or both?

I suggest either DePrycker or McDyson (sorry for misspellings) both of
which give a good (from the ground up) description. There are standards
which fall into the ATM family of standards at many levels. Besides the
most notable standard, which is the ATM cell size and format, there are
user network interface signalling protocol standards, protocol
adaptation layer standards, quality of service guarrantee standards,
etc. It is a very well specified technology and you can go nuts reading
all of the specs. A gopher search will yield a large quantity of papers
on the topic.

BTW, I'm no expert.
