Asynchronous Transfer Mode
ATM has been adopted for use in LANs to connect work stations that may require high rates of data transfer. The ATM standard establishes virtual circuits that can be used for multimedia applications. What makes ATM attractive is that it uses communication channels much more efficiently than the traditional circuit switching technology used by the traditional telephone network. The most significant feature of ATM is its ability to offer different bandwidths, and different qualities of service on demand. ATM cell relay means quality of service in speed, accuracy, and dependability. |
