A virtual circuit is a bidirectional path between two hosts in a network. Frame Relay virtual circuits are logical connections between two hosts that are established either by a call setup mechanism or by explicit configuration.
A virtual circuit created through a call setup mechanism is known as a switched virtual circuit (SVC). A virtual circuit created through explicit configuration is called a permanent virtual circuit (PVC).
