Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) transmission is used in the broadband integrated services digital network (B-ISDN). Various terminals, such as telephones, telefaxes, pay-TVs, and workstations will be connected together through the B-ISDN. Fixed-length (53 byte) short packets, called "cells" are used for all data transmission.
