AAL-5

ATM Adaptation Layer Type 5: AAL functions in support of variable bit rate, delay- tolerant connection-oriented data traffic requiring minimal sequencing or error detection support.

Audible Alarm Panel

ABR

Available Bit Rate: ABR is an ATM layer service category for which the limiting ATM layer transfer characteristics provided by the network may change subsequent to connection establishment. A flow control mechanism is specified which supports several types of feedback to control the source rate in response to changing ATM layer transfer characteristics. It is expected that an end-system that adapts its traffic in accordance with the feedback will experience a low cell loss ratio and obtain a fair share of the available bandwidth according to a network specific allocation policy. Cell delay variation is not controlled in this service, although admitted cells are not delayed unnecessarily.
