Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM): A networking technology that splits traffic data into small fixed-sized cells, contrary to other networking technologies, which use variable-size packets. ATM provides data link layer services that run over a wide range of networks. Its small, fixed-size cells are well suited for carrying voice and video traffic, as well as data, making it advantageous for multimedia transmission.
