ATM (ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSFER MODE)

A network technology called ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is based on transferring data in cells or packets of a fixed size. One of the most attractive features of ATM and biggest advantages over competing technologies such as Frame Relay and Fast Ethernet is its built-in support for QoS. ATM can provide QoS guarantees on bandwidth and delay for the transfer of continuous media (CM) data, and assurance that end-to-end latency will not exceed a specified level.
