A
ATM adaptation layer. AAL is an adaptation layer within the data link layer of the OSI model. AAL is
AAL
divided into a segmentation and reassembly sublayer (SAR) and a convergence sublayer. The SAR
divides the application datastream into transmit cells and then reassembles the received cells into a
datastream that is compatible with the related application. The convergence sublayer specifies the
requirements for the various types of applications that run over ATM. AAL is defined in terms of types,
1 to 5, specified by the type of traffic that it supports. Each type offers an appropriate QoS.
available bit rate. A QoS class defined by the ATM Forum for ATM networks. ABR is used for
ABR
connections that do not require timing relationships between source and destination. ABR provides no
guarantees in terms of cell loss or delay, providing only best-effort service. Traffic sources adjust their
transmission rate in response to information they receive describing the status of the network and its
capability to successfully deliver data. Compare with CBR, UBR, and VBR.
