Hi, Patrick, buy VCC's, if you want to use fixed topology PVC-like connections between your switches, and buy VPC's, if you want to use fat PVC-type pipes between your switches, within which your switches will set up SVC connections on demand. In this latter case you will transfer the signalling channels via this "fat pipe" as well. If your ATM service provider supports SVCs, or you do not use SVCs, than the use of VPC's are of no use. As far as I know this is independent of the class type, if you do not try to exceed the contracted limits for your VCC or VPC connections. VPC switching may me more expensive, because in some switches there are low limitations in the number of usable VPCs.
