User Network Interface signaling for ATM communications. 

 

Virtual Connection (VC) 

A link that seems and behaves like a dedicated point-to-point line or a system that delivers 

packets in sequence, as happens on an actual point-to-point network. In reality, the data is 

delivered across a network via the most appropriate route. The sending and receiving 

devices do not have to be aware of the options and the route is chosen only when a 

message is sent. There is no pre-arrangement, so each virtual connection exists only for 

the duration of that one transmission. 

 

WAN 

Wide area network - A data communications network that spans any distance and is usually 

provided by a public carrier (such as a telephone company or service provider).
