ATM Switching
In this section
150 / 300
ATM is a connection oriented packet switching technology using
fixed size packets, called cells.
These cells consist of a header and a payload and are switched
through a public or private ATM network depending on the
contents of the header.
End to end connections are formed by cross connecting individual
ATM segments in ATM switches.
