VC-based multiplexing
In this case, by prior mutual agreement, each protocol is assigned to a specific
virtual circuit; for example, VC1 carries IP. VC-based multiplexing can be
dominant in environments where dynamic creation of large numbers of ATM VCs
is fast and economical.
LLC-based multiplexing
In this case, one VC carries multiple protocols with protocol-identifying
information being contained in each packet header. Despite the extra bandwidth
and processing overhead, this method can be advantageous if it is not practical to
have a separate VC for each carried protocol, for example, if charging heavily
depends on the number of simultaneous VCs.
VPI and VCI
Be sure to use the correct Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel
Identifier (VCI) numbers assigned to you. The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255
and 32 to 65535 for the VCI (0 to 31 is reserved for local management of ATM
traffic).
