An SVC is a circuit which only exists for the duration of the session, after which it is usually disconnected. Also
referred to as “Bandwidth on Demand”. A connection established via signalling.

A PVC is a circuit, equivalent to a dedicated leased line, yet over some form of packet switched network. A PVC is set
up once, usually through the management system of the network supporting it, and continues to exist until it is
removed, again via the management system.
