    ATM is a connection-based packet switching technique that transfers fixed length 53 byte cells at high transmission speeds. An ATM circuit remains established between switches until a connection is completed to allow for voice, data, and video services. By the 1990s, ATM became a standard for high-speed digital backbone networks used by telecom providers to interconnect parts of their networks and consolidate traffic from multiple sources. A diagram shows how data from an email application is divided into packets with sequence numbers and addresses at different layers, transmitted through Ethernet and ATM networks, and reassembled at the destination.

    Asynchronous Transfer Mode - ATM

    Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is a packet data and switching technique that transfers
    information by using fixed length 53 byte cells. The ATM system uses high-speed transmission (155
    Mbps) and is a connection-basedsystem. When an ATM circuit is established, a patch through
    multiple switches is setup and remains in place until the connection is completed. ATM service was
    developed to allow one communication medium (high speed packet data) to provide for voice, data and
    video service.

    As of the 1990's, ATM has become a standard for high-speed digital backbone networks. ATM
    networks are widely used by large telecommunications service providers to interconnect their network
    parts (e.g. DSLAMs and Routers). ATM aggregators operate networks that consolidate data traffic from
    multiple feeders (such as DSL lines and ISP links) to transport different types of media (voice, data and
    video).

    This figure shows that the Internet is the network of networks and it communicates using the universal
    protocol language TCP/IP. This diagram shows a user who is sending email through the Internet. In this
    diagram, the application is email. The data from the email is divided into packets and given sequence
    number by TCP protocol. The destination address is appended to each packet by the IP layer. The IP
    packets are then sent through an Ethernet LAN by encapsulating the IP datagram within the Ethernet
    data packet. When the data packet is extracted from the Ethernet, it is placed on the E1 transmission
    line. When the IP data packet reaches the ATM network, it is subdivided into very small 53 byte data
    packets that travel through the ATM network. When the ATM packets reach their destination in the ATM
    network, the original IP datagram is recreated and transferred via the T1 communication line. The T1
    communication line interfaces to another Ethernet data network. This Ethernet data network
    encapsulates the IP datagram and forwards it on to the NIC of the receiving computer. The NIC of the
    receiving computer removes the IP address and reassembles the IP data packets to form the original
    email message.
