However, on a point-to-multipoint connection there should be no traffic in the backward direction, so we define the
backward traffic descriptor with its Cell Loss Priorities set to zero (0)

In the example above, traffic descriptor three (3) will be used in the forward direction, and traffic descriptor four (4)
will be used in the backward direction.

4.
Perform step 3 for ports 7a3 and 7a4.
5.
Connect the workstations to their respective ports.
6.
Configure the workstations for the same subnet and VPCI/VCI pair = 0/101.
The broadcasting workstation on port 7a1 can send traffic to the receiving workstations on ports 7a2, 7a3, and 7a4.
