Feature Overview
The High Performance ATM AIM offers a cost-effective solution for supporting low-speed ATM WAN
connections on the Cisco 2600 family of products. This feature enables the Cisco 2600 series to carry
voice and data traffic over ATM networks using AAL2 and
connections on the Cisco 2600 family of products. This feature enables the Cisco 2600 series to carry
voice and data traffic over ATM networks using AAL2 and
AAL5 without a dedicated ATM network
module. AAL2 and AAL5 are the most bandwidth-efficient standards-based trunking methods for
transporting compressed voice, voice-band data, circuit-mode data, and frame-mode data over ATM
infrastructures. This feature provides a cost-effective, low-density ATM T1 or E1 solution for the
Cisco 2600 series.
