5.1.8 How a VPI/VCI Is Allocated to SVCs

For virtual connections (both SVCs and PVCs), the VPI/VCI allocation is performed on a per-port basis.

For an SVC, it′s always the 8285′s role to allocate any VPI/VCI used by the SVC at each segment of the connection. The procedure for allocating a VPI/VCI for the SVCs is based on the following considerations:
