Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
|
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a cell relay, packet switching
network and data link layer protocol which encodes data traffic into small
(53 bytes; 48 bytes of data and 5 bytes of header information) fixed-sized
cells.
ATM provides data link layer services that run over Layer 1 links. This
differs from other technologies based on packet-switched networks (such
as the Internet Protocol or Ethernet), in which variable sized packets
(known as frames when referencing layer 2) are used.
ATM is a connection-oriented technology, in which a logical connection is
established between the two endpoints before the actual data exchange
begins.
