Data Link Connection Identifier. The DLCI is a six-bit value maintaining a link between a client and server application, and is used in the RFCOMM layer of a Bluetooth Device.

Data Link Connection Identifier is used to uniquely identify each virtual circuit at each Frame Relay interface.

Data Link Connection Identifier A frame relay header field that identifies the destination of the packet.

Data Link Connection Identifier. This is a Frame Relay term which defines an address field in a frame packet.

Data Link Connection Identifiers (frame-relay use)

A number that identifies one of the virtual serial ports on an RFCOMM connection.

A Frame Relay term defining a 10-bit field of the Address Field. Specifies what logical circuit to route the date over.

The DLCI is the Data Link Connection Identifier and is used to identify a unique virtual point to point connection via a Frame Relay network. The DLCI's are normally assigned by the Frame Relay network provider.

A connection identifier associated with frame relay packets that serves the same functions as, and translates directly to, the VPI/VCI on an ATM cell.

Data- Link Connection Identifier. Frame Relay virtual circuit number corresponding to a particular destination. The DLCI is part of the Frame Relay header and is usually 10 bits long.

Data Link Connection Identifier. A frame relay term defining a 10-bit filed of the address field.

Data Link Connection Identifier. The number of a private or switched virtual circuit in a frame relay network. Located in the frame header, the DLCI field identifies which logical circuit the data travels over, and each DLCI has a committed information rate (CIR) associated with it. The DLCI number is local to the frame access device and frame relay switch it connects to, and it is generally changed by the switch within the network, because the receiving switch uses a different DLCI for the same connection.

A Frame Relay term describing the identifier given to each connection point. The DLCI is used so a node can communicate with the first Frame Relay machine. Then that machine maps the data to another DLCI it uses for its link with the next Frame Relay machine, and so on, until the destination node is reached.

data-link connection identifier. Field in a Frame Relay data packet that identifies the destination for the data.

Data Link Connection Identifier. A number given to a DLC - part of the frame-relay packet header that is used to name the logical channel the frame will be routed to. The header has space for 10 bits of data - this DLCI is embedded in the data stream from beginning to end of the transmission, and the values are different for every individual router in a network. Very similar to a Logical Channel Number (LCN) - and performs the same tasks as a LCN.

Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI): A 10-bit address that identifies Frame Relay PVC addresses.

data-link connection identifier. Value that identifies a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) in Frame Relay network.

Data Link Connection Identifier. Located in the Frame Relay header, this 10-bit field is the MAC address that identifies the PVC between the user and Frame Relay device.

Data-link connection identifier. Value that specifies a PVC or SVC in a Frame Relay network. In the basic Frame Relay specification, DLCIs are locally significant (connected devices might use different values to specify the same connection). In the LMI extended specification, DLCIs are globally significant (DLCIs specify individual end devices).

Data Link Connection Identifier. The virtual circuit number corresponding to a particular connection between two destinations. This number is used as part of the frame relay header.

Data-link connection identifier. Identifier for a Frame Relay virtual connection (also called a logical interface).

An identifier in a Frame Relay header that specifies the Layer 2 virtual circuit.
