Asynchronous Transfer Mode

Asynchronous Transfer Mode: Asynchronous Transfer Mode By Gene Bandy State Technical Institute Asynchronous Transfer Mode: Asynchronous Transfer Mode(ATM) is a "high-speed transmission protocol in which data blocks are broken into small cells that are transmitted individually and possibly via different routes in a manner similar to packet-switching technology". In other words, it is a form of data transmission that allows voice, video and data to be sent along the same network. In the past, …

…wait, with all the promise of ATM's capabilities many details are still in the standards process Asynchronous Transfer Mode: Reference: 1. Freeman, Roger L. ((1996).
