Transmissions are slower than in point-to-point connections

Your data is transmitted along the same pathways as other companies' traffic

They're commonly used by companies as an internet connection link

Introduction computer networks and communications?

The purpose of a computer communications network is to allow moving information from one point to another inside the network. The information could be stored on a device, such as a personal computer in the network, it could be generated live outside the network, such as speech, or could be generated by a process on another piece of information, such as automatic sales transactions at the end of a business day. The device does not necessarily have to be a computer; it could be a hard disk, a camera or even a printer on the network. Due to a large variety of information to be moved, and due to the fact that each type of information has its own conditions for intelligibility, the computer network has evolved into a highly complex system. Specialized knowledge from many areas of science and engineering goes into the design of networks. It is practically impossible for a single area of science or engineering to be entirely responsible for the design of all the components. Therefore, a study of computer networks branches into many areas as we go up from fundamentals to the advanced levels. Advancements in communication of speech have long been matured in the form of public switched telephone network (PSTN). However, design of store-and-forward type of networks, such as the Internet, is far from matured - perhaps due to proliferation of the ways in which such networks are used. The integration of the two types of networks is the culmination of telecommunications technology. It is not futuristic to imagine telecommunications networks meeting the needs of live traffic (e.g., phone calls) as well as store-and-forward data (e.g., email) traffic according to the desired quality of service. In this chapter, we look at a computer network as a whole, from both an application point of view and a design point of view. In fact, the design and application influence each other so much that a study of the fundamentals is practically impossible by leaving either one out

Describe the architecture of an ATM network?

ATM Architecture As in the case of many large systems, there are a range of components and connections involved in the ATM networks. Figure 2 shows an example network architecture. All connections in the ATM network are point-to-point, with traffic being switched through the network by the switching nodes. Two types of networks are included in the ATM architecture, Public Networks and Private Networks. Private Networks, often referred to as Customer Premises Networks, are typically concerned with end-user connections, or bridging services to other types of networks including circuit switched services, frame relay, and voice subsystems. The interface between the components in the Private Networks is referred to as the Private User Network Interface (UNI). ATM also extends into the wider area Public Networks. Interfaces between the Public and Private network switches conform to the Public UNI. Interfaces between the switches within the Public network are the Network Node Interface (NNI). Specifications for both the Public and Private UNI can be found in the ATM Forum's publication "ATM User-Network Interface (UNI) Specification." The private networks often permit the use of lower speed short haul interconnects that are useful in LAN environments, but not of great use in wider area public networks. Three types of NNI have been developed, NNI-ISSI that connects switches in the same Local Area Transport Area (LATA), the NNI-ICI, that connects ATM networks of different carriers (InterCarrier), and finally, a Private NNI that permits the connection of different switches in a private network.
