Description: The MIB module for providing the parameters 
  configured on an ATM interface.
  Terminologies used:
  SVC  : Switched Virtual Channel
  SPVC : Soft Permanent Virtual Circuit
  SPVP : Soft Permanent Virtual Path
  SVPC : Switched Virtual Path Connection
  DAX  : Connection with endpoints on the same 
         ATM switch
  P2p  : Point-to-point connection
  P2mp : Point-to-multi-point connection
  Root : The root of point-to-multipoint connection,
         which is associated with a VPI/VCI
  Leaf : Usually one point-to-multipoint connection
         consists of one root and one or more leaves. 
         Leaf is the branch point for point 
         to multipoint connection that is 
         associated with a VPI/VCI
  Party: One or more party is associated with each 
         leaf, all parties are associated with 
         the same VPI/VCI that its leaf belongs to

  Each active connection has two terminating 
  endpoints. 
  In the above diagram, Endpoints A and F are 
  terminating.
  Of these the master endpoint of the connection 
  initiates the routing of the call and is 
  considered the calling party. The slave endpoint
  is the called party which receives calls and is 
  the destination of a call.
  Any endpoints that are created either on Via nodes 
  or on the node with the terminating endpoint in 
  order to have a complete connections between 
  endpoints A and F are said to be intermediate 
  endpoints. In the above diagram, endpoints B, C, 
  D and E are intermediate endpoints.
