Asynchronous Transfer Mode
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a high-speed networking technology used to transmit data, voice, and video over the same network. It works by breaking information into small, fixed-size packets called cells, which are sent through the network efficiently and reliably. ATM is designed for real-time applications, ensuring quick delivery and quality of service. It’s commonly used by service providers for large networks, providing a versatile and consistent method to support different types of data traffic with minimal delay.
