Your router is connected to a port on a frame-relay switch on the provider's
end. That port can handle multiple PVCs. a DLCI is just the FR switch's way
of determining which of those PVC's a frame belongs to and thus how it
should be routed. So from a certain viewpoint, both statements are true. On
your router's end, the DLCI is local to the router. On the provider's end,
the DLCI is local to that particular port on the FR switch.

Does that help?
