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,

virtual connection (VCI). A virtual path consists of multiple virtual channels to the same
endpoint.
