Frame Relay

Requires an address called a Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI).

 

DLCIs are assigned by the appropriate authority at subscription

 

time. A DLCI follows an at sign (@) and can range from 1 through

 

1022 decimal. The DLCI identifies a virtual circuit on the Frame

 

Relay network, and is used by the local bridge/router to send a

 

packet to a router on the other end of the circuit. The following is

 

an example of a Frame Relay address:

 

@22

 

 

In the standard (local) addressing convention, the DLCI number has

 

only local significance; a duplicate number can be used by other

 

bridge/router or tunnel switches. In the global addressing

 

convention, identifiers used throughout the Frame Relay network

 

are unique, and all traffic to a node has the same destination DLCI

 

number.

 

ATM

Consists of an 8-bit virtual path identifier (VPI) and a 16-bit virtual

 

circuit identifier (VCI), usually represented in VPI.VCI format, where

 

VPI is a decimal number between 0 and 255 and VCI is a decimal

 

number between 0 and 65,535. The following is an example of an

 

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) address:

 

107.44

 

 

Some vendors’ DSUs require an ATM address that consists of a 0-bit

 

VPI and a 10-bit VCI. In this case, the 10-bit VCI maps directly to a

 

Frame Relay DLCI.

 

SMDS

There are two types of Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS)

 

addresses: individual addresses, for unicast traffic, and group

 

addresses, for multicast traffic. An individual address routes data to

 

a unique node. Packets sent to a group address are delivered to all

 

nodes that share that address. Both types of address begin with a

 

dollar sign. They are distinguished by the first or control digit:

 

hexadecimal C for an individual address and hexadecimal E for a

 

group address. Each address has 15 decimal digits following the

 

control digit and resembles a telephone number. The software

 

automatically right-pads shorter addresses with hexadecimal F to

 

the full length. The following are examples of individual and group

 

SMDS addresses:

 

 

C14085551212FFFF

Individual Address

 

E14085551234FFFF

Group Address

X.25

Consists of up to 15 decimal digits and can vary in length. The

 

address looks similar to a telephone number and is preceded by a

 

pound sign (#). An X.25 address is also referred to as a data

 

terminal equipment (DTE) address.

When a device is attached to a public data network (PDN), the network provider assigns it an X.25 address or an international data number (IDN). The first four digits indicate the country and PDN to which the device is attached. The remaining digits represent a unique device address determined by the network provider. The following is an example of an X.25 address:
