1. ATM Vs. Frame Relay
... switching. Cells that originate from various sources, or from various destinations are asynchronously multiplexed between multiple packet switches. The Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI) are the unique integer fields that identify each circuit on each link of the network, and the ATM switches are responsible for switching cells between ports, buffering cells, translating VPI/VCI's, guaranteeing Quality of Service ... being sent is packaged into frame packets from the end-device terminal, and then, transported through the network on predefined logic links....
