Overview
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Service provides technology for data, video, voice and multimedia
networking. ATM service is based on a fixed-length 53-byte cell that includes a five byte header that support
high-speed data applications, while achieving the minimum delay and delay-variability required for video and
voice applications, all on a single infrastructure. ATM is a statistically multiplexed protocol with
sophisticated routing capabilities that supports rapidly changing bandwidth demands (bursty traffic),
allows any-to-any end-point connectivity, and results in better network facility utilization. ATM is a
fundamental technology for high-speed, multimedia applications in local and wide area environments.
