ATM – DEFINITION
• ATM uses packet switching with fixed length packet of 53 bytes – CELLs. Each
cell has a 5-byte header and 48-byte payload
• ATM uses Virtual Circuits
• ATM can run over any physical layer. Often runs over fiber optics using the
SONET standard at speeds of 155.52 Mbps, 622 Mbps and higher
ATM CHARACTERISTICS
• A Cell network uses the cell as the basic unit of data exchange. A cell is
defined as a small, fixed-sized block of information ATM uses asynchronous
TDM – to multiplex cells coming from different channels
• Uses fixed slots (size of cells)
• Fills a slot with a cell from any input channel that has a cell – slot is empty if
none of the channels has a cell to send
ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSFER MODE (ATM)
ATM ACCESS
• Real-time services
*Constant bit rate – uncompressed audio/video info
-Videoconferencing, TV, pay-per-view, VOD, etc.
*rt-Variable bit rate
• Non-real-time services
* nrt-VBR – high end system QoS, critical response time
- Bank transactions, airline reservations, etc.
*Unspecified bit rate – best-effort service
- e.g. text/image messaging, telecommuting
*Available bit rate – bursty apps requiring reliable end-to-end connection
• physical layer
