A Virtual Circuit Group consists of a number of Virtual Circuits (VC) that connect two, and only two CIDIN
Centres. A Primary-type VC is always present and a Secondary-type VC is optional. Within this group, the
selection of the VC is local matter. VC groups form redundant connections between adjacent CIDIN Centres.
Primary
Primary Virtual Circuit, established actual either as a PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or SVC (Switched
Virtual Circuit). In case of SVC no Secondary Virtual Circuits are recommended.
Secon-
dary VC’s
Actual Secondary VC’s: Secondary Virtual Circuits, established actual either as a set of PVC (Permanent
Virtual Circuit) and/or a SVC (Switched Virtual Circuit). There is no maximum limit to the number of PVC’s
forming a VCG.

The planned Primary Virtual Circuit will replace the Actual Primary VC in the future on a planned date.
Secon-
The planned Secondary Virtual Circuits will replace the Actual Alternate VC (see below).
