Well, I assume when you say ATM you can't mean automated teller machine so I will assume you were talking about Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).
In electronic digital data transmission systems, the network protocol Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) encodes data traffic into small fixed-sized cells. The standards for ATM were first developed in the mid 1980s. The goal was to design a single networking strategy that could transport real-time video and audio as well as image files, text and email. Two groups, the International Telecommunications Union and the ATM Forum were involved in the creation of the standards.
ATM, as a connection-oriented technology, establishes a virtual circuit between the two endpoints before the actual data exchange begins. ATM is a cell relay, packet switching protocol which 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 exposes properties from both circuit- and packet switched networking, making it suitable for wide area data networking as well as real-time media transport. It is a core protocol used in the SONET/SDH backbone of the public switched telephone network. |
