APPENDIX D
Virtual Circuit Topology
ATM is a connection-oriented technology, meaning that it sets up virtual circuits over which
end systems communicate. The terminology for virtual circuits is as follows:
Figure 180 Virtual Circuit Topology
Think of a virtual path as a cable that contains a bundle of wires. The cable connects two
points and wires within the cable provide individual circuits between the two points. In an
ATM cell header, a VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) identifies a link formed by a virtual path; a
VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) identifies a channel within a virtual path.
The VPI and VCI identify a virtual path, that is, termination points between ATM switches. A
series of virtual paths make up a virtual circuit.
Virtual Channel Logical connections between ATM switches
Virtual Path A bundle of virtual channels
Virtual Circuits A series of virtual paths between circuit end point
