Abstract
A system for provisioning virtual circuits in broadband access multiplexing elements is disclosed. The system manages an algorithm that selects a unique virtual path identifier and virtual circuit identifier for each new multiplexor input from a pool. The system sends commands to connect each new input to the multiplexor output based on the selected virtual path identifier and virtual circuit identifier. The selected virtual path identifier and virtual circuit identifier remain assigned to the input port even if the input connection is later deleted.
