Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)

ADSL provides a reliable connection to your service provider. Traffic is carried over the ADSL physical link layer using ATM protocol. This protocol allows you to designate multiple paths between locations (Virtual Path), and multiple data channels within each path (Virtual Channel). Eight ATM Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) are provided. Just set the VPI (Virtual Path Indicator) and VCI (Virtual Channel Indicator) for each PVC to the values provided by your ISP. For home use, usually only one connection will be configured.

Protocol Encapsulation

Traffic passing over the ADSL connection must be encapsulated into a recognized ATM protocol. (Data is segmented into short fixed length cells when entering the ATM stream, and reassembled into variable length user information when leaving the stream). The Barricade router supports the following protocols:

•PPPoA VC-Mux. Point to Point Protocol over ATM Virtual Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation) allows only one protocol running per virtual circuit (less overhead).
