A VPI is a 8-bit field while VCI is a 16-bit field in the ATM cell header. A VPI identifies a link 
formed by a virtual path and a VCI identifies a channel within a virtual path. In this way, the cells 
belonging to the same connection can be distinguished. A unique and separate VPI/VCI id
is assigned in advance to indicate which type of cell is following, unassigned cells, physical layer 
OAM cells, metasignaling channel or a generic broadcast signaling channel. Your ISP should 
supply you with the values.
