Abstract
The ATM Layer is concerned with the transport of cells between users of the ATM layer. The format of a cell at the user network interface (UNI) is depicted in Figure 1.3.1. As the ATM layer follows the paradigm of connection orientation, connections have to be set up and quality of service parameters have to be negotiated for these connections. The cell routing information contained in the header of a cell is a label, not an explicit address. The label uniquely identifies a connection on a given link. All routing information is for connections and therefore linked to the label values.
