About SVCs
This chapter describes how to use switched virtual circuits (SVCs). With SVCs,
connections are not predefined as they are for permanent virtual circuits (PVCs).
Instead, end stations use a signaling protocol to indicate to the ATM network the
endpoint to which it should route the SVC request (called party). To support SVC
services, each user endpoint is assigned a unique address which identifies the endpoint
and enables the network to route the SVC request.
Note – You cannot configure ATM SVCs on B-STDX 9000 switches or GX 550 ES
logical ports.
