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
Compromised between Europe and US.
As I recalled from ATM/UNI forum,
Europe wanted 64 US wanted 32, they
compromised at 48 (in between) + 5
for control.

If you are asking for a reason, I may be able to break it down to a
basic. One of the reasons ATM uses a fixed cell size (53-bytes) is to make it
a little faster. Lets look at it through the OSI model. When data travels
down through the OSI there may be various size differences in diff

This is my understanding as well. This was a pure political decision that led to a
pretty horrible technical result. The systems we work with like powers of 2. They woek
ok with other composites. They DO NOT like primes. 53 is a prime number and this must
cause no end of headaches to someone in
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 s
It is due to political reason. Politic again. One party want 64 byte for the
payload. Another party want 32 byte for the payload. They can't settle so
they choose the middle. (32+64)/2 = 48 byte.

Because back when they were creating an ATM standard
from stratch it had to be some number. I believe there
were two factions (US vs. European) on what size the
payload area should be. 48 bytes turned out to be the
compromise between speed and size.

I think his question was directed as to why those specific mechanics,
rather than the mechanics themselves. A

You must be refering to ATM. The reason it's 53 bytes in a cell because
the first 5 bytes are used for cell-header information; the other 48 bytes
contain the payload, which is data.

It was a compromise. Data people wanted no less than 128bytes and Voice
people wanted no more than 32 bytes. SO a compromise was reached.
