b. VBR is designed for customers who need real-time and/or use compression
techniques to create a variable data rate.
c. ABR is useful for applications with bursty data.
d. UBR has no guarantees.
21. ATM is a connection-oriented protocol, while traditional LANs are connectionless.
The addressing is different in connectionless protocols. Traditional LANs offer
multicasting and broadcasting of the packets, whereas ATM does not.
23. BUS is software used to add broadcasting and multicasting capability to an ATM
network.

63. The efficiency of ATM using AAL1 is 47/ 53 or 89%.
65. The efficiency of ATM using AAL1 is 45/ 53 or 85%.
67. Yes. The efficiency depends on the size of the packet. Larger packets are more effi-
cient.
69.
a. The minimum number of cells is 1 (no data, 40 bytes of padding and 8 bytes of
header in the CS sublayer).
b. The maximum number of cells is 1366.
71.
c. When the number of bytes in the final segment is exactly 40.
d. The number of data bytes in the last unit is 0.
e. The final segment has 41 bytes.
73.
a. 47
b. 45
c. 44
d. 48
75. AAL2 produces more cells than AAL1 if the bit rate is the same.
