Local Area Terminal is a DEC propritary protocol.

Hypothetically, if you were to combine the I/O from several terminal
sessions into a single message between each server and host pair, you
might very well exceed the figures Charles is seeing with Cisco
Terminal concentrators, espcially when multiple sessions are
communicating with the same host. If you limited the frequency of how
often you sent messages to each host to some value (like 80ms), and
required the host to in most cases send a message only in reply to a
message from the server, the amount of traffic would be further
reduced.
