Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Technology Web Knowledgbase [sic]

http://www.npac.syr.edu/users/dpk/ATM_Knowledgebase/ATM-technology.htm

Although this knowledge base was last updated (or so it says on its home page) on October 24, 1995, you can still find basic terms, an ATM tutorial, and other information about ATM. If you are new to ATM, hit this site for some beginner level information. For advanced users, you can even find high-end ATM information here, including a history of ATM.

ATM Forum

http://www.atmforum.com

If you are interested in reading about the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology, head over to the ATM Forum. Here you can read white papers about ATM, access the ATM Forum Newsletter, and find out more about the ATM Fax-On Demand service being promoted. ATM is still not a ubiquitous service, but it does have a great deal of support by many people. You can find out why here.

Cell Relay Retreat

Before the triple-jump was introduced to the modern day Olympics, there was the cell relay. For conditioning concerns, the participants were required to attend the cell-relay retreat, which consisted of learning terms such as AVSSCS (Audio-Visual Service Specific Convergence Sublayer), MTP3 (Message Transfer Protocol 3), and Traffic Contract. Those who weren't ready, sat out fours until the next cell-relay retreat.
