Each entry in this table represents a Soft
Permanent Virtual Path Connection (Soft PVPC)
originating at a switch interface.
A Soft PVPC is a VPC that is:
- provisioned at the originating (source)
interface of the connection
- established by signalling procedures
across a network to a destination interface.
When a row is made active, an attempt is made
to set up a switched connection to an interface at
the destination switch. No objects (other than
atmSoftPVpcRowStatus) can be set while the row is
active.
At the destination, the VPL may be defined (but
not cross-connected) prior to arrival of the Setup
request.
The combination of slot/port, atmVplVpi specified
in the index clause of this entry serves to
identify the VPL on the source interface. The
atmSoftPVpcLeafReference object aids in distinguishing
between leaves of a point-to-multipoint Soft PVPC.
