Mode
ATM is a connection-orientated technique
ATM provides cell sequence integrity
Cells are much smaller than standard packet-
omission of overheads
ATM Layer
The ATM layer transport information across the network
ATM uses virtual connections for the information
transport
(QoS)
ATM Connections
The connection between two endpoints is called a
addressing structure.
ADSL disadvantages:
Distance-sensitive
Slower upload speeds
Phone line required
