ATM

A

A HIGH-SPEED PACKET SWITCHING PROTOCOL THAT USES FIXED-LENGTH (53-BYTE) PACKETS ORGANIZED INTO CELLS TO CARRY ALL TYPES OF TRAFFIC (E.G., VOICE, DATA, STILL IMAGE, AUDIO/VIDEO). FIXED-LENGTH CELLS ALLOW CELL PROCESSING TO OCCUR IN THE HARDWARE, THEREBY REDUCING DELAYS. ATM IS DESIGNED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIGH-SPEED TRANSMISSION MEDIA, SUCH AS E3, SYNCHRONOUS OPTICAL NETWORK (SONET), AND T3.
