PVC Connection Traffic Rows

The CTT in a permanent virtual channel (PVC) setup requires storing PVC traffic values in a CTT data
structure. Rows used for PVCs are called stable rows, and contain traffic parameters.

SVC Connection Traffic Rows

The CTT in a switched virtual channel (SVC) setup provides a row identifier that Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) or the user interface can use to read or display SVC traffic parameters.
A CTT row index is stored in the connection-leg data structure for each flow of the connection.
Note Rows cannot be deleted while in use by a connection.
CTT Row Allocations and Defaults
To make CTT management software more efficient, the CTT row-index space is split into rows allocated
as a result of signalling and rows allocated from the command-line interface (CLI) and SNMP. Table 9-5
describes the row-index range for both.
Table 9 -6 describes the well-known, predefined ATM CTT rows.
