Networking BroadBand Services

Vol. 34, No. 4, 1995

Order No. G321-0122
 
An essential ingredient in the movement of large amounts of data on worldwide digital networks is agreement on and computer support for internationally recognized architectures for broadband communications services. IBM's high-speed, multimedia networking architecture and products, based on the ATM architecture, are known by the term Networking BroadBand Services (NBBS) and fit under the umbrella of IBM's Open Blueprint™. This issue contains an introductory essay on ATM and NBBS and ten papers on the NBBS approach, architecture, technologies, and products. In combination with the previous issue of the Journal on network technologies and systems, this issue shows the direction IBM has taken in delivering architecture, systems, and products for worldwide digital communications.
