Dear Kevin The PVC is established and up whether traffic is there or not. Packets will take the same path.
In case of SVC, during initialisation, the session is estabilshed dynamically and the all packets will take the same path during that session. Thus, link can be better utilized. Hope above clarifies ur doubt. Regards, Kiran >From: "Kevin Jones" >Reply-To: "Kevin Jones" >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: PVCs vs. SVCs - puzzling me.
