the PVC connection saved in XML configuration space of flash for that
connection. During the connection establishment processing, the saved PVC will
be checked to see whether a connection can be made with the PVC. If the PVC
is OAM ping-able, the connection process continues. If the PVC is not OAM ping-
able, the search for an available PVC starts. The process of PVC selection is the
same as described above.
The list of default PVCs and backup PVCs need to be global for the management
of all connections, non Auto-Sensing PVC connection, as well as, Auto-Sensing
PVC connections. These lists allow the end-users to establish connectivity
without keeping track of the PVC used.
PPPoA Connection Setup
PPPoA is also known as RFC 2364. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets in ATM cells
that are carried over the DSL line. PPP, or point-to-point protocol, is a method of establishing
a network connection/session between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of
authenticating users. Logical link control (LLC) and virtual circuit (VC) are two different
methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact your ISP to determine which
encapsulation is being used on your DSL connection.
