Its very
difficult to get the ATM Signalling mechanism like UNI
right,when you read for the first time. You always wonder
if we could see the signaling flow in action !
I happened to see a cool Java based ATM Signalling
Simulator !. If you have a Java
Enabled browser go and enjoy !.

Most of
the standards ( ANSI, IEEE, ISO...) documents do not come
free of charge. Some sites like
Information
Technology Standards Document Library
do offer them some for FREE. Browse through
these sites for standards documents for downloand in both
.pdf and .zip formats.
ATM: ITU-T Recommendations
You can
buy these on paper from the ITU:
ITU
Place des Nations
CH-1211 Geneva 20
Switzerland.
Fax : +41 22 730 5194
ITU also
has an online publications services which is available by
subscription. See their FAQ at http://www.itu.int/publications for more
information. Through their service you can get documents
at http://www.itu.ch/itudoc/itu-t/rec/q.html. If you are not a
subscriber you can send mail to sales@itu.ch to order a
paper copy.
It is
also possible to get access to ITU documents available
for downloading on the Web without a subscription. You
can pay for a single document with a credit card. Refer
to http://www.itu.int/publications for more details.
Some can
be accessed on http://www.itu.ch/ (ITU World Wide
Web site). You can also get copies of ITU documents using
their auto-answering mailbox. Send mail to itudoc@itu.ch
with:
GET
ITU-4313
in the
message body to get information how to get the documents,
including I.363, that you want.
Alternatively,
send e-mail to itudoc@itu.ch with the single line HELP in
the body of the message. That will get you information on
the ITU's automatic mail server. Essentially you send a
message to the above address with:
GET
ITU-nnnn in the body, where nnnn is the document
identifier number that you get by asking for ITU-1100,
which is the index to the ITU I. series, including I.363.
Some of these documents do come FREE from
the web. One of such sites is
1. Free ITU
