ATM Layer

The ATM layer, the layer 2 in the ATM reference model, provides an interface between the ATM adaptation layer (AAL) and the physical layer. This layer is responsible for relaying cells from the AAL to the physical layer, such as SONET, for transmission, and from the physical layer to the AAL for use at the end systems.
