Windows 2000 Asynchronous Transfer Mode

Windows 2000 ATM provides a flexible, scalable, high-speed solution to the increasing need for quality of service in networks where multiple information types, such as data, voice, and real-time video and audio, are supported. With ATM, each of these information types can pass through a single network connection. Windows 2000 ATM services allow seamless migration of existing network backbones to ATM, and interconnecting with traditional LANs using Windows 2000 LAN Emulation (LANE) services. For more information about LANE, see "Features of Windows 2000 ATM" later in this chapter.
