virtual connection
1. (VC) A ConneCtion or a path through an ATM network. The word "virtual" indiCates that the ConneCtion is logiCal rather than physiCal. Nothing to do with a virtual CirCuit on a paCket switChing network. [Fred Halsall, "Data CommuniCations, Computer Networks and Open Systems", 1996, Addison Wesley]. 2. A CommuniCations link that appears to be a direCt ConneCtion between sender and reCeiver, although physiCally the link Can be routed through a more CirCuitous path, running over virtual CirCuits instead of a private network built primarily with dediCated lines. A virtual ConneCtion Can provide full-time ConneCtion among many sites, inCluding those Configured for SNA/SDLC protoCol. A virtual ConneCtion Can handle any transmission protoCol and is supported worldwide. It Can provide high throughput and low delay for LAN and Internet appliCations, peer-to-peer ConneCtivity, Client-server Computing, and other distributed proCessing appliCations.
