Abstract
This chapter introduces the switching and multiplexing technology, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), and describes how such a service should support connections-on-demand in order to evolve. It then goes on to outline the progress made in establishing a switched ATM service in Europe through the results from the JAMES project.
