VoATM

Voice over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (VoATM) is a data protocol used to transport packetized voice signals over an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network.^[1] In ATM, the voice traffic is encapsulated using AAL1/AAL2 ATM packets.^[2] VoATM over DSL is a similar service, which is used to carry packetized voice signals over a DSL connection.^[1]

Protocols edit

ATM Adaptation Layer 1 (AAL1)
ATM Adaptation Layer 2 (AAL2)

Deployment edit

VoATM is a multi-service, high speed, scalable technology but rarely found because of its expensive services.^[3]

Prioritization edit

Prioritization is implemented through QoS parameters.^[3]

Fragmentation edit

Fragmentation is built into ATM with its small, fixed-sized, 53-byte cells.^[3]^[4]

Variable delay edit

Dynamic Bandwidth Circuit Emulation Service (DBCES) does not send a constant bit stream of cells but transmit only at an active voice call, reducing delays and variations.^[3]

Echo cancellation edit

VoATM transports data, voice, and video at very high speed. The same method for echo cancellation is employed.^[3]
