ATM cell :
A cell is a small data unit of fixed size. in a cell network, which uses the cell as the basic unit of data exchange. A cell is defined as a small, fixed-sized block of information.
Architecture ATM network :
ATM is a cell-switched network.The user access devices, called the endpoints,are connected through a user-to-network interface(UNI) to the switches inside the network. The switches are connected through network-to-network interfaces(NNIs).
Header Error Control :
The HEC is a code computed for the first 4 bytes of the header.It is a CRC with the divisor x8+x2+x+1 that is use d large class of multiple - bit errors.
