LAYERS OF ATM
- 3 Basic Layers
- Physical Layer
- handles the medium dependent transmissions.
- ATM Layer
- enables the sharing of virtual circuits between the different users and transmission of the cells over the virtual circuit.
- Adaptation Layer
- responsible for hiding the ATM implementation details from the higher layers.
- transforms the data into 48 bit cell payloads.
