Computer Networks 4
•
Uses digital virtual circuits to move fixed size packets (cells) from
source to destination at speeds up to Gbps
•
Each cell consists of 5 bytes of header and 48 bytes of payload data
•
Lower transmission rate is typically 1Mbps
•
Because the cell size is fixed, network delays and latencies can be
predicted, making ATM suitable for carrying real-time information
