This document discusses Frame Relay and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networking technologies. It covers Frame Relay architecture, addressing formats, and the lack of flow and error control. It then covers ATM design goals, cell-based transmission, virtual paths and connections, ATM layers, and adaptation layers. The document concludes by discussing using ATM for local area networks and the LAN Emulation standard.

The high data rate of the technology has attracted the attention of designers who are looking for greater and greater speeds in LANs.
