ATM Accounting MIB

Data collection is available for SVCs and switched virtual paths (SVPs); soft permanent virtual circuits (SPVCs) with value-added support for PVCs and permanent virtual paths (PVPs); because of the potentially large quantity of data collected, the ATM accounting MIB generates a compressed file of collected accounting information for retrieval via TFTP.
