ABSTRACT:
A permanent virtual circuit (PVC) over an ATM network is provisioned by using a deterministic PVC addressing scheme for computing a unique combination of VPI and VCI values based on certain input parameters associated with the network to which the PVC is logically connected. Specifically, the VPI and VCI of a PVC are deterministically computed as a known function of numerical values of particular network elements associated with the network and the particular PVC being provisioned using a function that enables the values of these network elements to be uniquely determined from the VPI and VCI of the PVC. Thus, once the VPI and VCI are determined for a PVC, the particular network elements associated with that PVC can be unambiguously identified from their values.
