Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a network technology based on transferring
data in cells or packets of a fixed size. The cell used with ATM is relatively small
compared to units used with other technologies. The small, constant cell size allows
the transmission of video, audio, and computer data, assuring that no single type of
data consumes the connection. ATM addressing consists of two identifiers that identify
the virtual path (VPI) and the virtual connection (VCI). A virtual path consists of
multiple virtual channels to the same endpoint..
