Abstract :
The author discusses asynchronous transfer mode (ATM); a mechanism which permits the creation of new multimedia communication systems. It is the first transfer mode that permits high-speed transmission of real-time services and computer data simultaneously. The introduction of ATM to broadband-ISDN networks is discussed following its approval by the ITU-T. There are unresolved management issues and some of these have important implications for the success of ATM networks
