Virtual Channels
Virtual channels “ride” inside of virtual paths. The combination of the two
specifies a virtual connection. On a switch fabric, each virtual channel
switches cells with a specific VPI and VCI received on a specific port to
another port with a new VPI and a new VCI. Unlike through paths, virtual
channels describe a single virtual connection between two endpoints con-
nected to a switch fabric.

An Example of a Virtual Channel
Six parameters are needed to define a virtual channel: input port, input VPI,
input VCI, output port, output VPI, and output VCI. Virtual channels are rep-
resented by the following notation:
<iport> <ivpi> <ivci> <oport> <ovpi> <ovci>
cell
VPI: A, VCI: B
VPI: X, VCI: Y
