  Virtual circuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A virtual circuit (VC) is a communications arrangement in which data from a source user may be passed to a destination user over more than one real communications circuit during a single period of communication, but the switching is hidden from the users.
Switched virtual circuits (SVC) are generally setup on a per-call basis and are disconnected when the call is terminated; however, a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) can be established as an option to provide a dedicated circuit link between two facilities.
A permanent virtual circuit (PVC) is a virtual circuit established for repeated use between the same data terminal equipments (DTE).

X.25 local switching allows the NETBuilder bridge/router to take an incoming call from a high-speed serial (HSS) port that is not targeted for the bridge/router itself and forward the call to its real X.25 destination by switching it over an X.25 WAN on another locally attached HSS port.
Global switching allows the bridge/router to take an incoming X.25 call that is not targeted for the bridge/router itself and, instead of switching the call to another HSS port, encapsulate and forward it through a locally attached IP Internet to another IP peer for further switching.
When configured for a switched virtual circuit and switching occurs, a switched virtual circuit is established.

 What Is...an SVC (supervisor call, or switched virtual circuit) (a definition)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
When the computer's processor executes the instruction that contains the SVC, the code representing "SVC" causes a program interrupt to occur, which means that control of the processor is immediately passed to the operating system supervisor program.
An SVC routine is a program within the supervisor that perfoms the service indicated by the specific SVC instruction.
2) In a network, an SVC (switched virtual circuit) is a temporary virtual circuit that is established and maintained only for the duration of a data transfer session.
