Determining Network Connectivity Strategies

Benefits of Using Windows 2000 ATM

Windows 2000 ATM has the following benefits:

High-speed communication.
Connection-oriented service, similar to traditional telephony.
Fast hardware-based switching.
A single, universal, interoperable network transport.
A single network connection that can reliably mix voice, video, and data.
Flexible and efficient allocation of network bandwidth.
Support for Quality of Service (QoS), which gives administrators the ability to dedicate network bandwidth based on several parameters, including but not limited to who initiated the request, the type of data being sent (such as streaming video), or the destination. For more information about QoS, see the Windows® 2000 Resource Kit TCP/IP core Networking Guide.
