switched virtual path (SVP)
1 A type of virtual path (VP) that is established and torn down by subscriber
applications on an as-needed basis. It is a logical connection that remains
in place only for the duration of data transfer. User equipment signals the
desired destination, and the connection route is selected automatically
through SVP signaling.
