Explanation:
“Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is a cell-switching technology, as opposed to a
packet-switching technology like Frame Relay. ATM uses virtual circuits much like Frame Relay,
but because it uses fixed-size frames or cells, it can guarantee throughput. This makes ATM an
excellent WAN technology for voice and video conferencing.” Pg 87 Tittel: CISSP Study Guide
