3.1.2 Networks
ATM
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a popular end-to-end, high-performance, cell-oriented switching
and multiplexing technology that uses fixed-length cells to carry different types of traffic from source to
destination. A virtual channel connection is the basic unit of ATM that carries a single stream of cells, in
order, from one switch to another until the cells reach their final destination. Two ATM switches may have
many different virtual channel connections between them that belong to different users.
Frame Relay
Frame relay is a form of packet-switching technology that routes frames of information from source to
destination over a switching network owned by a carrier. Frame sizes are not fixed.
HDLC (High-level Data Link Control)
Similar to frame relay, HDLC organizes data into a unit (called a frame). HDCL frames are sent from point
to point and are therefore considered a more local method of data transfer. Frame sizes are not fixed.
