SDU = Service Data Unit, OAM = Operations,
Administrations, and Maintenance
A value of 0 in the first bit indicates user information.
That is information from the next higher layer. In this
case, the second bit indicates whether congestion has
been experienced. The third bit service data unit SDU is
dependant on the context.
A value 1 in the first bit of the payload type field
indicates that this cell carries network management or
maintenance information (OAM = Operations,
Administration and Maintenance)
The Cell Loss Priority (CLP) is used to provide guidance
to the network in the event of congestion. A value 0
indicates a cell of relatively higher priority, which
should not be discarded unless no other alternative is
available. A value 1 indicates that this cell is subject to
discard within the network. A value 1 is set at the UNI if
user transmits data at the higher rate than specified in
agreement concerning traffic parameters.
Each ATM cell includes 8 bit Header Error Control
(HEC) field that is calculated based on the remaining 32
bits of the header.
