I read a few of the entries to answer your question and I disagree with them
so far. I have read that in fact there were 2 committees involved with the
established cell size, and it was in fact a compromise. I wished I had my
book Computer Networks (which is a wonderful book) cause then I would be
able to name the committees involved. One committee wanted to use 32 byte
cells and the other wanted to use 64 byte cells the compromise was 48 the 5
additional bytes were added as the header and therefore the present cell
size for ATM is 53 bytes.
My 2 cents
