Introduction communication) to be switched to multiple destinations by fast ATM switches such as the Cabletron 9A000 and SFCS series (connecting up to 64 workstations with an aggregate capacity of 2.5 Gbps or 96 workstations running at 100 Mbps). Larger LANs can be built by interconnecting multiple 9A000 and SFCS series ATM switches. Based upon international standards developed by the CCITT, ATM allows for fast packet switching of cells, 53 bytes in length. By using small cells
