In addition to reading new material, I enjoy reading older networking books in attempt to see where we've come from and possibly where we're going. Currently, I'm reading a book called Cisco LAN switching, which was published in 1999 as part of the CCIE Professional Development series. The book talks quite a bit about using ATM in network backbones, and it occurred to me that I rarely see anything about ATM anymore in today's network engineering.
Is ATM used anymore or has it mostly been replaced with other technologies at this point in time?

It is still used a bit, but most providers are phasing it out.
