Defines the ATM Adaptation Later (AAL) type 2, which provides for the bandwidth-efficient transmission of low-rate, short and variable length packets in delay sensitive applications. Capable of supporting more than one AAL type 2 user information stream on a single ATM connection. Specifies in depth the general framework and Common Part Sublayer (CPS) of the AAL type 2.
