Networking: ATM LAN

• ATM typically runs at 155 Mbps.
• Higher speed versions run at 4x (622 Mbps) or into the gigabit range.
• To connect to ethernet, one can go from a 155 Mbps connection into a hub that accomodates 16 ethernets (each 10 Mbps).
• ATM switches connect ATM and ethernet lines.
• LAN, MAN, WAN stand for local, metropolitan and wide-area networks.
