Implementation Pros and Cons Between Asynchronous Tranfer Mode (ATM) and Gigabit Ethernet(GbE)

Growing demands for bandwidth spurred by increasing numbers of users and data-intensive office, intranet and multimedia applications are adding a significant burden to backbones in many of today’s networks. Several technologies have emerged to meet these demands. The two dominant technologies compet...
