CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE

Parameter

Description

VPI/VCI

Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit

 

Identifier (VCI).

 

Data flows are broken up into fixed length cells,

 

each of which contains a Virtual Path Identifier

 

(VPI) that identifies the path between two nodes,

 

and a Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI) that identifies

 

the data channel within that virtual path. Each

 

virtual circuit maintains a constant flow of cells

 

between the two end points. When there is no data

 

to transmit, empty cells are sent. When data needs

 

to be transmitted, it is immediately inserted into the

 

cell flows.

Encapsulation

Specifies how to handle multiple protocols at the

 

ATM transport layer.

 

•

VC-MUX: Point-to-Point Protocol over

 

 

ATM Virtual Circuit Multiplexer (null

 

 

encapsulation) allows only one protocol

 

 

running per virtual circuit with less overhead.

 

•

LLC: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM

 

 

Logical Link Control allows multiple

 

 

protocols running over one virtual circuit

 

 

(uses slightly more overhead).

Idle Time (Minute)

Enter the maximum idle time for the Internet

 

connection. After this time has been exceeded the

 

connection will be terminated.

ISP Name

Choose the ISP to whom this connection will apply.
