Definitions of terms used in the preceding output:

In/Out: Direction of the call.
(In is to the ATM network adapter from another device; Out is from the ATM network adapter to another device.)
NSAP: Network Service Access Point
P-P: Point-to-point call.
PMP: Point-to-multipoint call.
PVC: Connection is on a permanent virtual circuit.
SVC: Connection is on a switched virtual circuit.
VPI/VCI Information: VPI/VCI Virtual path and virtual channel of the incoming or outgoing call.
UBR: Unspecified Bit Rate
CBR: Constant Bit Rate
ABR: Available Bit Rate
VBR: Variable Bit Rate

Address format: These ATM addresses indicate only the client address, and not the address of other ATM endpoints the client has called. The first 26 hexadecimal characters (13 bytes) of the 40-character string represent the switch address, the next 12 hex characters (6 bytes) indicate the MAC address of the hardware in question, and the last two hex characters represent the selector value. This selector value allows the call manager to distinguish between two different logical addresses that are addressed with the same hardware.
