SVC search for term

switched virtual circuitA type of virtual circuit that is established dynamically with call setup and call clearing procedures. A permanent SVC is left in a connected state until the user or application disconnects it. An on-demand SVC is disconnected after data has been transmitted over the established SVC. The circuit remains disconnected until more data is queued for sending, at which point the connection is reestablished.
