What is cardInUseVCs?

This reports how many of the card's virtual-circuit table entries are currently occupied by active PVCs or SVCs. Tracked alongside cardMaxVCs, this tells the admin exactly how much provisioning headroom is left on this card before hitting the hardware VC limit, which matters when deciding whether a new customer circuit can go on this card or needs to go elsewhere. For example, cardInUseVCs at 7,850 against a cardMaxVCs of 8,000 leaves only 150 VC slots free, prompting the admin to route the next new circuit to a different card.
