A system for establishing static SVCs (i.e. permanent SVCs) whereby the results of the signaling/routing protocol generated when the network is first brought up are stored in a "permanent SVC' memory. The results of the signaling/protocol that were previously stored are restored from memory in the event the connections must be re-established again. The connections are restored from memory without the need to execute the signaling/routing algorithms and protocols again. Use of the signaling/routing protocols yields the same connections that were already stored previously in the memory from when the connections were originally established. The system of the present invention is applicable to any connection-oriented network that utilizes signaling to establish connections between network users. The signaling and routing algorithms and protocols would not need to be run for every connection request. Rather, the parameters are retrieved from permanent SVC memory and configured into the switch saving considerable amounts of time.
