Public awareness of the significance of CO2 sinks has grown since passage of the Kyoto Protocol‚ which promotes their use as a form of carbon offset. The main natural sinks are: Absorption of carbon dioxide by the oceans via physicochemical and biological processes Photosynthesis by terrestrial plants Natural sinks are typically much larger

The ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) sits between ATM and the variable-length packet protocols that might use ATM‚ such as IP. ATM provides QoS capabilities through its five service classes: CBR‚ VBR-rt‚ VBR-nrt‚ ABR‚ and UBR. With CBR (constant bit rate)‚ sources transmit stream traffic at a fixed rate.
