Virtual Circuit Phases -VC setup: -VC setup: the sending transport layer contacts the network layer, specifies the receiver's address, and waits for the network to set up the VC. The network layer determines the path between src and dst that is the series of links and routers through which all packets of the VC will travel. The network layer then adds an entry in the forwarding table in each router along the path. -the sending transport layer contacts the network layer -specifies the receiver's address -waits for the network to set up the VC. -The network layer determines the path between src and dst -the series of links and routers through which all packets of the VC will travel. -The network layer then adds an entry in the forwarding table in each router along the path. -Data Transfer: VC is established and data begins to flow -VC teardown: src or dst informs network layer of its desire to terminate the VC. The network layer then updates forwarding tables to delete the routes.
