I read in one of the books I have used there were not an specific
reason to define exactly a 53 Bytes cell in ATM, it was really an
agreement between the two leaders developing ATM architecture (USA and
Europe)where one defined a cell smaller than 50 bytes (sorry, but I do
not remember the exact size suggested) and the other a cells greater
than 60 bytes, so they decided to take the average to avoid problems
and implement it.
