Should I use VC-MUX or LLC?

As its name suggests, VC-MUX can handle more data quicker than LLC. The big difference here is the â€œagreementâ€ among the systems on any specific network. This means that all systems must agree on the specific nature of the data translation method.

What is VC-MUX and LLC?

Virtual circuit multiplexing or VC-MUX is one of the two (the other being LLC encapsulation) mechanisms for identifying the protocol carried in ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) frames specified by RFC 2684, Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM.

What is PPPoE VC-MUX?

Virtual Circuit Multiplexing or VC-MUX is a form of network traffic control. It is used in situations where multiplexing is preferable to switching. Multiplexing is used when there's a need to transport multiple data streams over a single data link. VC-MUX is commonly used in conjunction with PPPoE and PPPoA.

What is the difference between PPPoE and PPPoA?

The main difference between PPPoE and PPPoA is that PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) expresses the essential features of PPP frames within the Ethernet frames succinctly whereas PPPoA (Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM) expresses the essential features of frames within AAL5 succinctly.

What is VPI VCI setting?

By Default the VPI and VCI value is set to 8 and 35 respectively. Check with your internet service provider for your VPI and VCI value and enter it in their respective boxes.

What is VPI and VCI in router?

VPIâ€”The Virtual Path Identifier is an 8- or 12-bit field used to identify paths between sites on the ATM network. It is larger on the NNI to accommodate aggregation on customer paths. â€¢ VCIâ€”The Virtual Connection Identifier is a 16-bit field used to identify paths between individual devices on the ATM network.

What is PPPoE connection type?

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a network protocol that facilitates communication between network endpoints. PPPoE encapsulates Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames, offering the same benefits as PPP, while providing connectivity across Ethernet networks.

What is Russian PPPoE?

PPPoE/Russia PPPoE - Connections which use PPPoE that requires a user name and password. Dynamic IP - Connections which use dynamic IP address assignment. Static IP - Connections which use static IP address assignment.

Why do ISPs use PPPoE?

PPPoE expands the original capability of PPP by allowing a virtual point to point connection over a multipoint Ethernet network architecture. PPPoE is a protocol that is widely used by ISPs to provision digital subscriber line (DSL) high-speed Internet services, of which the most popular service is ADSL.

Which is better DHCP or PPPoE?

Conclusion. There is not better than the other, they serve two entirely different functions, with zero overlap. Both PPPoE and DHCP are critical in connecting to the network, which works to acquire IP address. What distinguishes PPPoE vs DHCP is the methods to obtain IP.

How do I find VPI and VCI?

Click on Basic Setup->WAN Setting. click on PVC Pool, and you can see the VPI/VCI list.

Can I change PPPoE to DHCP?

If you have a PPPoE connection (ISDN, ADSL, EFC) to another location, and you want to use DHCP to assign the clients (PC's etc) ip addresses, then yes DHCP should he able to communicate over that circuit.

What should my VPI be?

Most US Internet providers generally use VPI/VCI values of 0/35.

What is VPI in ADSL?

VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) is an eight-bit field in an ATM cell's header that identifies the virtual path (a bundle of virtual channels that have the same endpoint) to which the cell belongs as it travels through an ATM network.

What are ADSL settings?

Encapsulation: PPPoA (PPP over ATM).
Multiplexing: VC-MUX or VC-Based.
VPI: 0.
VCI: 38.
Modulation: Multimode or automatic. However.
IP Address: Obtain automatically or dynamic.
MTU: This should be left on the router default unless addressing a specific problem.

What is the meaning of VPI?

VPI Stands for Virtual Path Identifier. Its a Combination of an 8-bit field in the header of an ATM cell. It is Basically used for Data Communication Identifier that Established a Virtual path for an asynchronous transfer mode. It is a process of sending data in Small Data Packets.

What is meant by VPI number?

A virtual path identifier (VPI) is a data communication identifier that uniquely identifies a network path for an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) cell packet to reach its destination node. VPIs are eight- to 16-bit numeric headers in ATM cell packets. ATM cells typically pass through ATM switches.

What is meant by VCI?

A virtual channel identifier (VCI) distinguishes virtual channels (also known as circuits) created in a packet/cell switched network. A VCI has multiple circuits per communication channel and is primarily used for managing the unique identification of each created circuit.

Which connection type is best for WiFi?

A 5GHz connection will provide better performance at short ranges than 2.4GHz. This is because 5GHz, while somewhat faster, can't travel as far or transmit through some objects due to that band's shorter wavelengths.

Which WAN connection type should I use?

WAN > Connection Type. A Dynamic type of connection is the most common. If you use a cable modem, then most likely you will have a dynamic connection. If you have a cable modem or you are not sure of your connection type, use this.
