12.1 The ATM Packet Switching Technology
ATM is a connectionoriented packet switching technology using
fixedsize packets, called cells.
These cells consist of a header and a payload - being either
voice, or data - and are switched through a public or private
ATM network depending on the contents of the header.
Endtoend data connections are formed by crossconnecting
individual ATM segments in ATM switches.
Endtoend voice connections are established via the classical
telephone switching techniques at the Central Office (CO), but are
then encapsulated in ATM to run over your dedicated DSL
connection.
