Abstract
Introduction ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is a set of international standards for sending large amounts of voice, data and video information simultaneously over a single network at speeds up to a thousand times faster than is commonplace today. It is aimed to transport virtually every electronic communications format from e-mail to phone calls to movies. ATM promises to be a true worldwide standard and the foundation for the next century networks. The most common ATM network configuration is based on one or more fast switches interconnecting the subscribers. Such switches render the entire network distance independent, namely, the same bandwidth and service can be afforded to the communicating partners whether 1 meter or 100 kilometers apart. Unfortunately, this independence comes at a fairly high cost of the switch. It appears that when the communication parties span only a small locale, different configurations can be devised that rid themselves from reliance on the costly
