An SVC is established via an ATM switch port, which includes multiple virtual paths (VPs), by associating multiple virtual user-to-network interfaces (UNIs) to each of the VPs. Each of the VPs includes multiple virtual circuit (VC) ranges, each of which corresponds to a different virtual UNI. Each VC range includes at least one VC for control and at least one VC for data transfer. Associating the virtual UNIs to each of the VPs includes mapping each virtual UNI to a corresponding VC range within a VP based on a virtual path index (VPI)/virtual channel index (VCI) of the virtual UNI initially received by the ATM switch port.
A method of establishing at least one SVC via an ATM switch port, the ATM switch port comprising a plurality of VPs, the method comprising:
A method for supporting a plurality of virtual UNIs within a single VP, which includes a plurality of VCs, the method comprising:
A method for establishing an SVC in an ATM network, comprising:
A system for establishing at least one SVC in an ATM network, comprising:
A computer readable medium for storing a computer program that establishes at least one SVC via an ATM switch port, the ATM switch port comprising a plurality of VPs, the computer readable medium comprising:
