Allowed cell rate
Encyclopedia
The allowed cell rate is the rate in cells per second at which a source device may send data in ATM
networks. It is bounded by the minimum cell rate and the peak cell rate.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode
Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a standard switching technique designed to unify telecommunication and computer networks. It uses asynchronous time-division multiplexing, and it encodes data into small, fixed-sized cells. This differs from approaches such as the Internet Protocol or Ethernet that...
