- ! atm.ps: "Asynchronous Transfer Mode: Implementations for 1994"
- (21 pages)
-
- SUMMARY: The most exciting networking concept of the early
- 1990's is Aysynchronous Transfer Mode or ATM. ATM promises
- to deliver much higher bandwidth over wider areas with lower
- latency than ever before available, but in the ferver to
- bring higher speeds to networks, many of the implementation
- details of ATM have yet to be determined. In this paper, we
- discuss the current state of the ATM standard and suggest
- appropriate uses for the technology today.
