    - ATM (Asynchronous Transfer mode) is a dedicated-connection switching technology that organizes digital data into 53-byte cell units to transmit them over a physical medium using digital signal technology.

    - ATM is designed to be easily implemented by hardware rather than software.

    - ATM is developed to improve utilization and quality of service (QoS) on high-traffic networks.

    - It is a high-speed networking standard which is used to support both voice and data communications (Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network).

    - ATM utilizes no routing so it differs from more common data link technologies like ethernet in several ways.

    - Latency is a time delay between the cause and the effect of some physical change in the system being observed and the real-time processing fails if the process is not completed within a specified deadline relative to an event, So therefore ATM is developed to handle these problems and also overcome the data traffic.
