For many applications, audio is now conveyed digitally. Video applications are following fast, particularly for video-on-demand. These digital streams require constant-rate digital channels between the source and destination, but a great number of all networks being planned today are based on the packet switched Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology.
