ATM TECHNOLOGY

The inevitable migration to ATM is no surprise since ATM has a number of advantages over other technologies. For one, ATM can run at speeds ranging from 51 Mbps to 1.2 Gbps. ATM can better support multimedia traffic because it is based on fixed-sized 53-byte cells and can accommodate both connectionless and connection-oriented traffic. Below is a list of the major vendors who will play an important part in the information superhighway.
