  2. Asynchronous Transfer Mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_Transfer_Mode

    Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a telecommunications standard defined by the American National Standards Institute and International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T, formerly CCITT) for digital transmission of multiple types of traffic.

  3. ATM adaptation layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATM_adaptation_layer

    The use of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology and services creates the need for an adaptation layer in order to support information transfer protocols, which are not based on ATM. This adaptation layer defines how to segment higher-layer packets into cells and the reassembly of these packets.

  4. ATM Adaptation Layer 5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATM_Adaptation_Layer_5

    ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) is an ATM adaptation layer used to send variable-length packets up to 65,535 octets in size across an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network. Unlike most network frames, which place control information in the header , AAL5 places control information in an 8-octet trailer at the end of the packet.

  5. High-Level Data Link Control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Level_Data_Link_Control

    High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) is a communication protocol used for transmitting data between devices in telecommunication and networking.Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), it is defined in the standard ISO/IEC 13239:2002.

  6. Virtual circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_circuit

    Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), where the circuit is identified by a virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI) pair. The ATM layer provides unreliable virtual circuits, but the ATM protocol provides for reliability through the ATM adaptation layer (AAL) Service Specific Convergence Sublayer (SSCS) (though it uses the ...

  7. Packet switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_switching

    Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is another virtual circuit technology. It differs from X.25 in that it uses small fixed-length packets ( cells ), and that the network imposes no flow control to users.

  8. Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol...

    Point-to-Point Protocol over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (PPPoA) is specified by The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in RFC 2364. [1] It offers standard PPP features such as authentication, encryption, and compression. It also supports the encapsulation types: VC-MUX and LLC - see RFC 2364.

  9. Network interface controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_interface_controller

    An Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network interface Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet NIC, a PCI Express ×1 card, which provides two hardware receive queues [9] Multiqueue NICs provide multiple transmit and receive queues, allowing packets received by the NIC to be assigned to one of its receive queues.
