Number of PVCs

Description

This menu defines the number of PVCs being configured. A PVC is a virtual circuit that is permanently available. PVCs differ from SVCs in that an SVC must be reestablished each time data is to be sent. Once the data has been sent, the SVC disappears. PVCs are more efficient for connections between hosts that communicate frequently.
