Final answer:
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is a packet-switched network designed for the high-speed transmission of various traffic types using small fixed-size cells. Option B is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) can be considered as a packet-switched network. In packet-switched networks, the data is sent in small units called packets, each with its own destination address, enabling them to traverse nodes with different pathways and then reassemble at the destination.
ATM is specifically designed to carry diverse traffic types at high speeds and uses small fixed-size cells to facilitate the processing and switching of data. It is not a circuit-switched network, which establishes a dedicated circuit for the entire communication. It is also not solely a frame relay network or a broadband network, though it can be used within broadband telecommunications.
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) can be considered in the Frame relay network category.
Frame relay is a packet-switched network technology that breaks data into small packets and routes them through the network based on the destination address in each packet. ATM is a specific type of frame relay network that uses fixed-length packets called cells. These cells can be switched quickly and efficiently, making ATM well-suited for high-speed data transfer.
ATM can also be considered in the Broadband network category, as it can provide high-speed connections over a wide area.
