ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
A connection based technology, allowing very efficient transmission of data up to 622Mbps. Operates by dividing data into very small (53byte) packets known as cells and forwarding these across pre-defined routes. As ATM is designed to be easily implemented in hardware high speeds are easy to achieve. Typically used by carriers such as BT within their core networks.
