Understanding ATM Concepts
This chapter looks at concepts underlying ATM and, where appropriate, the
specific ways we implement these concepts on our routers.
ATM General Information
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a connection-oriented, cell-based
technology that relays traffic across a Broadband Integrated Services Digital
Network (B-ISDN). It is a cost-effective way of transmitting voice, video, and
data across a network.
ATM Cells
An ATM cell is a short, fixed-length packet of 53 bytes. It consists of a 5-byte
header containing address information and a fixed, 48-byte information field.
Figure 2-1 shows a diagram of an ATM cell.
Figure 2-1. ATM Cell
Using a fixed-length cell size allows you to predict network delays, making ATM
suitable for carrying real-time information (for example, voice and video) as well
as data.
