DLCIs are unique to each frame switch. Meaning, you may have DLCI 203 on one
end, and have DLCI 203 on the other, as long as the other end is connected
to a different frame switch. Or you may have DLCI 203 on one end and DLCI
405 on the other. The DLCI has nothing to do with there the traffic is
eventually going, that's why Cisco uses the term "local significance".
The DLCI tells the frame switch which port to use.
Remembering that a DLCI is a Layer 2 address might help this make sense.
