3.7 Multiplexing
There are two conventions to identify what protocols the virtual circuit (VC) is carrying. Be sure to use the
multiplexing method required by your ISP.
3.7.1 VC-based multiplexing
In this case, by prior mutual agreement, each protocol is assigned to a specific virtual circuit, e.g., VC1
carries IP, VC2 carries IPX, etc. VC-based multiplexing may be dominant in environments where dynamic
creation of large numbers of ATM VCs is fast and economical.
3.7.2 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 may be advantageous if it
