previously in :numref:`Table %s <tab-vctab>`. The main difference is
that now the task of assigning an unused VCI value on the interface is
performed by the switch for that port. In this example, the switch
picks the value 5. The virtual circuit table now has the following
picks the value 11. The virtual circuit table now has the following
information: “When packets arrive on port 2 with identifier 5, send
them out on port 1.” Another issue is that, somehow, host A will need

wants to send to B; we will see how that happens below.
