Probably no other technology has drawn so much attention as has ATM in recent times. This tutorial describes the ATM protocol, technology and architecture, as well as the issues which it is designed to solve. The paper further traces the evolution of ATM and examines the applications for which ATM is likely to be used. Comparisons are made with alternative networking technologies and matters which require further solution described. A variety of topics are discussed including the background to ATM, the cell structure, switching issues, channel identification, interfacing to ATM networks, connectionless servers and various multimedia applications for which ATM forms a transport mechanism. This paper further examines the details of the ATM Adaptation Layers and describes their structure and application. SONET/SDH are discussed only in enough detail to show how they can be used as a physical layer for ATM.
