List of terms

A configured SPVC that uses the switched connection between networks is a permanent SPVC (P-SPVC). The switched connection at the NNI that enables connectivity between networks is a switched SPVC (S-SPVC).

switched permanent virtual path (SPVP)

A a type of virtual path (VP) that allows configured SPVP endpoints in two different frame relay or ATM networks to establish a switched connection across network-to-network interfaces (NNIs). It is a logical connection, the endpoints of which are configured by the network operator, but with a route is selected automatically at call setup.

switched virtual channel (SVC), ATM networking

1A virtual channel connection that is dynamically established and ended through control signaling. The user defines the endpoints when the call is initiated.

switched virtual circuit (SVC)

1A type of virtual circuit (VC) 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 SVC signaling.
