To a large degree, all ANSI C compilers , regardless of which company produces them, should behave similarly. M ode, a network technology based on transferring data in cells or packets of a fixed size. The cell used with ATM is relatively small compared to units used with older technologies. The small, constant cell size allows ATM equipment to transmit video , audio, and computer data over the same network, and assure that no single type of data hogs the line. In contrast, broadband transmission enables a single wire to carry multiple signals simultaneously.
Most communications involving computers uses baseband transmission.
An exception is B-ISDN networks, which use broadband transmission. Cable TV, for example, uses broadband transmission. In contrast, baseband transmission allows only one signal at a time. Ethernet uses a bus or star topology and supports data transfer rates of 10 Mbps . The Ethernet specification served as the basis for the IEEE 802.3 standard , which specifies the physical and lower software layers.
