Parameter 

Description

 

Virtual Circuit 

VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier 
define a virtual circuit. 

VPI 

VPI is a virtual path determines the way an ATM cell should be 
routed. The VPI is an 8-bit (in UNI) or 12-bit (in NNI) number that is 
included in the header of an ATM cell. The valid range for the VPI 
is 0 to 255. Enter the VPI assigned by the ISP. 

VCI 

VCI is the label given to an ATM VC to identify it and determine its 
destination. The VCI is a 16-bit number that is included in the 
header of an ATM cell. The valid range for the VCI is 32 to 65535. 
Enter the VCI assigned by the ISP.

 

 

ATM QoS 

CBR (Constant Bit Rate) – This class is used for emulating circuit 
switching. The cell rate is constant with time. Select CBR to 
specify fixed (always on) bandwidth for voice or data traffic.   

 

UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate) – Select UBR for applications that are 
non-time sensitive, such as e-mail.
