Asynchronous transfer mode switch

Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) An international standard high-speed, integrated multiplexing and switching technology that transmits information using fixed length cells in a connection-oriented manner. 

A final extension of the nton switch is to use the shadow logic to route packets of information [39], A particular application is the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) data, which is transmitted in finite size packets. For ATM chip-to-chip interconnects, it is desirable to switch packets or blocks of information rather than individual fibers, which can be done by shadow logic. In this... 

All of this is going to stress existing networks. Distance and bandwidth become of paramount importance. Ethernet will evolve into switched Ethernet, fiber di.stributed data interface (FDDI), or asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) to increa.se capability as users exchange larger and different types of records. Cunent copper-based Ethernet runs at 10-KX) Mbits s", but as the. system load...
