ATM Layer
Multiplexing and Demultiplexing. Cell switching is done. Traffic management and connection admission control. Resource availability.
Transmission of bits takes place in decreasing bit order and increasing byte order. Cell header values reserved by physical layer (VCI=VPI=0 and first bit of 4th byte set to 1)
** P bits available for physical layer
VPI 12 bits No GFC field because if the amount of data injected into the n/w is controlled, then within the n/w there should be no need to enforce such primitive flow control Reason of adding resulting 4 bits to VPI it allow connections from more than one UNI to be merged on to a single NNI and still allow each of the connections to be uniquely identified.
Support for Multiple QoS classes-QoS required by application is dependent on time of connection establishment -mapping with connection identifiers to QoS parameters.
