ATM stands for Asynchronous Transfer Mode, which is a network technology based on the switching of data packets called cells. Each cell is a fixed size of 53 bytes, consisting of a 5-byte header and a 48-byte payload. ATM was designed to support a wide variety of traffic types, including voice, video, and data, enabling a high-quality transmission over both LAN and WAN networks.
