In italy we use PPPoA with vpi/vci (8,35) with every ISP. In DSLAM the ATM
switch change these values? or how is it possible to demultiplex traffic
between every user?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, the DSLAM changes the VPI/VCI value. Think of the DSLAM as a big
ATM switch that maps in and out various VPI/VCI values. While all the
ports have 8,35 facing out to the CPE, back to the network, they'll
get mapped into something else, (ie. 32/32 for port 0/1, 32/33 for
port 0/1, etc. etc.).
Just part of the config setup of the DSLAM.

but never explained it :)
