ATM

ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is a switching technique that uses asynchronous time-division multiplexing to encode data into small, fixed-sized cells. It can be used for high-speed, fast-switched integrated data, voice, and video communication. ATM supports two types of connections - point-to-point and point-to-multipoint. Each ATM cell consists of 53 bytes, with 5 bytes for the header and 48 bytes for the payload. ATM switches are responsible for quickly routing cells through the network by reading and updating cell header information.

ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
It is a switching technique.
 It is used by telecommunication networks that uses asynchronous
time-division multiplexing to encode data into small, fixed-sized
cells.
ATM is the core protocol used over the synchronous optical
network (SONET) backbone of the integrated digital services
network (ISDN).
ATM Services Types
Three types of ATM services exist:
 Permanent virtual circuits (PVC)
 Switched virtual circuits (SVC)
 Connectionless service (which is similar to SMDS).
ATM Applications
Fast Ethernet to the desktop.
Gigabit Ethernet for the campus backbone.
Frame-Relay for Wide-area networking.
IP over SONET (Synchronous optical networking)
 No signaling  Fixed bandwidth. Can’t dial in
 No traffic management  Unused bandwidth wasted.
ATM Advantages
High-speed, fast-switched integrated data, voice, and video
communication.
ATM provides a global telephony standard.
 Interoperability with standard LAN/WAN technologies.
It enables efficient use of network resources using bandwidth on
demand concept.
It uses simplified network infrastructure.
ATM Disadvantages
Overhead of cell header (5 bytes per cell) .
Complex mechanisms are used to achieve QoS (Quality of Service).
 Congestion may cause cell losses.
ATM switch is very expensive compare to LAN hardware.
ATM NIC is more expensive compare to ethernet NIC.
ATM is connection oriented technology, the time required for
connection setup and tear down is larger compare to time required
to use it
Where to Use ATM
Desktop
Campus backbone
Wide area networks
Inside a carrier’s network
ATM Connections
ATM supports two types of connections:
 point-to-point
point-to-multipoint
ATM Standards
The ATM Forum has released work on the following specifications:
• User-to-Network Interface (UNI) 2.0
• UNI 3.0
• UNI 3.1
• UNI 4.0
• Public-Network Node Interface (P-NNI)
• LAN Emulation (LANE)
• Multiprotocol over ATM
ATM Cell Basic Format
ATM transfers information in fixed-size units called cells. Each cell
consists of 53 octets, or bytes.
The first 5 bytes contain cell-header information.
the remaining 48 contain the payload (user information).

Header Payload (User Information)


ATM Switch
An ATM switch is responsible for cell transit through
an ATM network.
It accepts the incoming cell from an ATM endpoint or another ATM
switch.
It then reads and updates the cell header information and
quickly switches the cell to an output interface toward its
destination
