Abstract

Devices, softwares and methods dynamically allocate bandwidth in ATM SVC connections. If there is an increase in the rate of demand, additional switched virtual circuits are opened for adding bandwidth. If demand decreases, some of the additional switched virtual circuits may be closed. A single pipe need be established for a number of these switched virtual circuits, to not affect operation of the upper network layers.
