an unattended machine (outside some banks) that dispenses money when a personal coded card is used
Asynchronous Transfer Mode; a high-speed packet-switching transport used for transmitting data over LANs or WANs that transmits fixed-length units of data It provides any-to-any connectivity and nodes can transmit simultaneously
Asynchronous Transfer Mode International standard for cell relay in which multiple service types (such as voice, video or data) are conveyed in fixed-length (53-byte) cells Fixed-length cells allow cell processing to occur in hardware, thereby reducing transit delays ATM is designed to take advantage of high-speed transmission media such as E3, SONET and T3
Asynchronous Transfer Mode A high bandwidth, controlled-delay fixed-size packet switching and transmission system Uses fixed-size packets also known as "cells"; ATM is often referred to as "cell relay " ATM will provide the basis for future broadband ISDN standards
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (not Automatic Teller Machine) A modern, fast data transmission protocol
(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) A standard for packet switching which uses packets of a fixed length
ATM -- Asynchronous Transfer Mode International standard for cell relay in which multiple service types (such as voice, video, or data) are conveyed in fixed-length (53-byte) cells Fixed-length cells allow cell processing to occur in hardware, thereby reducing transit delays ATM is designed to take advantage of high-speed transmission media such as E3, SONET, and T3
A dedicated-connection switching technology that organizes digital data into 53-byte cell units and transmits them over a physical medium using digital signal technology Individually, a cell is processed asynchronously relative to other related cells and is queued before being multiplexed over the transmission path Because ATM is designed to be easily implemented by hardware (rather than software), faster processing and switching speeds are possible The prespecified bit rates are either 155 520 Mbps or 622 080 Mbps Speeds on ATM networks can reach 10 Gbps
Asynchronous Transfer Mode A protocol that packs digital information into 53-byte cells (5-byte header and 48-byte payload) that are switched throughout a network over virtual circuits Standardized by the ITU-T in 1988 to create a Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) Its ability to accommodate multiple types of media (voice, video, data) makes it a likely player for full service networks based on ADSL and VDSL
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 older technologies The small, constant cell size allows ATM equipment to transmit video, audio, and computer data over the same network, and assure that no single type of data hogs the line Some current implementations of ATM support data transfer rates of from 25 to 622 Mbps This compares to a maximum of 100 Mbps for Ethernet, the current technology used for most LAN's ATM creates a fixed channel, or route, between two points whenever data transfer begins This differs from TCP / IP, in which messages are divided into packets and each packet, can take a different route from source to destination This difference makes it easier to track and bill data usage across an ATM network, but it makes it less adaptable to sudden surges in network traffic
Asynchronous Transfer Mode: an ultra high speed cell-based data transmission protocol which may be run over ADSL
a means of digital communications that is capable of very high speeds; suitable for transmission of images or voice or video as well as data; "ATM is used for both LAN and WAN"
Asynchronous Transfer Mode ATM primarily refers to the standards and protocols which are used to deploy ATM switches and edge devises ATM uses fixed length packets called cells to transfer information
Asynchronous Transfer Mode the internationally agreed basis for broadband ISDN A technology that enables all types of information (data, voice and video in any combination) to be transported by a single network infrastructure
(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) This is a special connection oriented packet-like switching and multiplexing technique (using fixed sized cells), that gives the user high bandwidth and low delay
Asynchronous Transfer Mode ATM is a high-speed data connection often used in large networks and as part of the Internet Backbone
