virtual connection (FR) (VC)

Virtual Connection(VC) is designated and interpreted differently in ATM, X.25 and Frame Relay. The acronym "VC" is called Virtual Channel in ATM, Virtual Circuit in X.25 and Virtual Connection in Frame Relay.

In Frame Relay, a virtual connection is the connection between end users where the end points and the route are defined, but not the bandwidth of the transmission path. This is allocated as required depending on the traffic flow.
