Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a connection-oriented, packet-switched
technology. The packets that are switched in an ATM network are of a fixed length, 53
bytes, and are called cells. The cell size has a particular effect on carrying voice traffic
effectively. The ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) sits between ATM and the variable-length
packet protocols that might use ATM, such as IP.
