ATM Forum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ATM Forum was founded in 1991 to be the industry consortium for Asynchronous Transfer Mode. It was a non-profit international organization. In its day, the ATM Forum was a vigorous industry body, creating over 200 implementation agreements.
ATM technology stabilized with the "Anchorage Accord", which established the baseline of ATM implementations. While ATM did not live up to every expectation, it remains an important core network technology. In 2004, the ATM Forum joined forces with the MPLS & Frame relay alliance to form the MFA Forum.
