Virtual paths enable you to separate network transport functions into types that are
related to an individual logical connection (virtual channel) and types that are
related to a group of logical connections (virtual path).
A transmission path is a physical connection that comprises several virtual paths,
each virtual path containing several virtual channels. The transmission path may
support multiple virtual paths across a single connection to the network.
Figure D-2 shows the relationships between the virtual channel, the virtual path,
and the transmission path.
