The MIB module for providing the parameters
configured on an ATM interface.
Terminologies used:
SVC : Switched Virtual Channel
SPVC : Soft Permanent Virtual Circuit
SPVP : Soft Permanent Virtual Path
SVPC : Switched Virtual Path Connection
DAX : Connection with endpoints on the same
ATM switch
P2p : Point-to-point connection
P2mp : Point-to-multi-point connection
Root : The root of point-to-multipoint connection,
which is associated with a VPI/VCI
Leaf : Usually one point-to-multipoint connection
consists of one root and one or more leaves.
Leaf is the branch point for point
to multipoint connection that is
associated with a VPI/VCI
Party: One or more party is associated with each
leaf, all parties are associated with
the same VPI/VCI that its leaf belongs to

Each active connection has two terminating
endpoints.
In the above diagram, Endpoints A and F are
terminating.
Of these the master endpoint of the connection
initiates the routing of the call and is
considered the calling party. The slave endpoint
is the called party which receives calls and is
the destination of a call.
Any endpoints that are created either on Via nodes
or on the node with the terminating endpoint in
order to have a complete connections between
endpoints A and F are said to be intermediate
endpoints. In the above diagram, endpoints B, C,
D and E are intermediate endpoints. |
