ATM Layer Link
A section of an ATM Layer connection between two adjacent active ATM Layer entities (ATM-entities).
ATM鏈路層
ATM層的一部分，位于兩個鄰近的ATM層活動實體(ATM-entities)之間。
ATM Link
A virtual path link (VPL) or a virtual channel link (VCL).
ATM鏈路
虛通道鏈路(VPL)或虛路徑鏈路(VCL)。
ATM Machine

ATM設備
參見ATM。
ATM Peer-to-Peer Connection
A virtual channel connection (VCC) or a virtual path connection (VPC).
ATM對等連接
虛路徑連接(VCC)或虛通道連接(VPC)。
ATM Protocol Reference Model
A multidimensional protocol model consisting of 4 layers and 3 planes and serving as a point of reference for understanding, developing and implementing ATM technology. Each layer addresses a discrete set of related functions, with all layers closely interrelated. The layers include the Physical Layer, ATM Layer, ATM Adaptation Layer, and Higher Layers related to the specifics of the native user data protocol. The planes include the Control Plane, User Plane and Management Plane.
ATM 協議參考模型
一種多維協議模型，包括4個分層和3個平面，用作理解、開發和實現ATM技術的參考點。每一個分層執行一組離散的相關功能，所有分層都緊密的相互關聯。這些分層包括物理層、ATM層、ATM適配層以及與原來的用戶數據協議細節相關的高層。3個平面有控制平面、用戶平面以及管理平面。
ATM Switch
A networking device that forwards 53-byte ATM-standard cells between different devices. These switches can be designed for both LAN and WAN environments. An ATM switch acts as both a traffic aggregator, such as when terminating unchannelized DS-3 trunks from DSLAMs, and as a multiservice switch that is capable of forwarding traffic in different ways, depending on what has to be done with it. For example, an ATM switch forwards customer IP traffic directly to an IP network by shunting it to a router or subscriber management system, frame-relay traffic to a frame switch, voice-over-ATM traffic to a voice/data gateway, or long-distance traffic to other central offices via a SONET inter-office ring.
ATM交換機
一種網絡設備，在兩個不同設備之間傳輸53字節ATM標準信元。這些交換機可以設計用于LAN（局域網）和WAN（廣域網）。 ATM交換機可以用作信息傳輸集合器，例如可以終止來自DSLAM的未作信道使用的DS-3中繼線；也可以用作多業務交換機，能夠根據預先設置以不同方式傳輸信息。例如，ATM交換機通過將信息分流到路由器或用戶管理系統、將幀中繼信息分流到幀交換機、將ATM話音信息分流到話音/數據網關或者將長途信息通過SONET局間環路分流到其他市話局來將客戶IP信息流直接傳輸到IP網絡。
ATM Token Ring LAN Service Unit
The ATM TLSU provides a powerful tool for offering internetworking services over ATM networks. Emulated token rings consist of up to 64 TLSU token ring ports located anywhere in the ATM network, interconnected with PVCs. These emulated token ring networks can be completely isolated from one another to ensure security and fairness among the attached LANs. The TLSUs are designed for flexible deployment, either local to an ATM switch or at a remote site. See ATM Ethernet LAN Service Unit.
ATM令牌環服務單元
ATM TLSU提供了功能強大的工具，在ATM網絡中提供網間服務。仿真令牌環最多可以由多達64個TLSU令牌環端口組成，放置在ATM網絡任意位置，提供PVC間的互連。這些仿真令牌環網絡可以完全獨立于其他仿真令牌環，以確保連接到局域網的各仿真令牌環的安全和公平。TLSU的設計使其能夠靈活應用，無論是本地環路連接ATM交換機還是遠端站連接ATM交換機。參見ATM Ethernet LAN Service Unit。
ATM Traffic Descriptor
A generic list of traffic parameters that can be used to capture the intrinsic traffic characteristics of a requested ATM connection.
ATM流量描述符
一種普通的流量參數列表，可以用于獲取所需的ATM連接內在流量特性。
ATM User-User Connection
An association established by the ATM Layer to support communication between two or more ATM service users (i.e., between two or more next higher entities or between two or more ATM-entities). The communications over an ATM Layer connection may be either bidirectional or unidirectional. The same Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) is issued for both directions of a connection at an interface.
ATM用戶和用戶連接
ATM層建立的一種聯系，支持兩個或兩個以上ATM服務用戶（即兩個或兩個以上高級實體之間或兩個或兩個以上ATM實體之間）之間的通信。ATM層連接上的通信可以是雙向的或者的單向的。在一個接口中，相同的虛路徑標識符(VCI)可以沿鏈路雙向傳輸。
ATMARP
ATM Address Resolution Protocol. The means of mapping IETF classical IP addresses to ATM hardware addresses. The process works in much the same way as conventional ARP, which maps network-layer addresses to the MAC (Media Access Control) layer in a LAN.
