    Computer Networks: Virtual Circuits

    Virtual circuits in computer networks provide a virtual connection between source and destination hosts by indirectly identifying them through a virtual circuit identifier (VC ID). Each router along the path maintains state for each passing connection, and may allocate link and router resources like bandwidth and buffers to the virtual circuit. Virtual circuits have identifiable phases of setup, where signaling messages are exchanged to initiate the circuit, data transfer using the established circuit, and teardown to terminate the connection.

    What is virtual-circuit?
     Computer networks provide only a connection
    service at the network layer.
     It is said to be a virtual connection between the
    source and destination host.
     The source and destination of a VC are only
    indirectly identified through the VC ID(Virtual-
    Circuit Identifier).
     Every router on source-dest path maintains
    “state” for each passing connection.
     Link, router resources (bandwidth, buffers) may
    be allocated to VC.

    SIGNALING MESSAGES:

    The msg that the end systems send into


    the network to initiate or terminate a VC,
    the msg passed between the routers to
    setup.
    SIGNALING PROTOCOLS:
    The protocol used to exchange these msgs
    are referred as signaling protocols.
