ATM SVC rerouting time

Hi folks.

Does anyone know the time it takes or should take for an SVC to be
rerouted in a small 4-6 switch ATM network running PNNI ?

Is it part of the ATM spec or does it depend on the switch manufacturer ?

Thanx

That depends on if the SVC was torn down due to a broken link, or if the
switch is just coming online, or if it was rerouted around congestion, and a
million other tuneable factors.

In our network, SVC (SPVCs) get rerouted at near sonet speeds, although that's
not very scientific.

In a situation where a link fails and the VC needs to be rerouted.
The VC path has allready been setup.

In the network I work with, SVC re-routes are near instantaneous...
If I break a link on purpose, I'm hard pressed to type in the command
fast enough to see if the svc is back up and it's already re-routed...

4-6 switches should be the same.. What kind of switches are we
talking about here?
