Abstract :
ATM is no longer considered a vision for the more distant future, but as a technology that will be deployed worldwide within the very near future, in both the private and public sectors. ATM will progressively support fixed and mobile communications in several steps, beginning with data communications and possibly leading to general purpose ATM switches for narrow- and broadband, and wireless and personal communication in the longer term, including the necessary mobility management
