Abstract
A system and method for routing permanent virtual connections (PVCs) and soft permanent virtual connections (SPVCs) through a digital communications network such as an ATM network. The permanent virtual connections are routed via algorithms executed by a central network management entity. The SPVCs are routed via switched virtual circuit algorithms implemented by management entities located at network switching elements.
