There is a function served by the data connection layer.
Virtual circuit networks use the phrase "connection status information" to describe the state of a connection. A switch's forwarding database must be updated at what pace it creates and removes connections in a VC network at a rate of one connection per millisecond (on average).
Circuit-switched networks, unlike datagram and virtual-circuit networks, do not require a routing or switching table to create the output port from which information pertinent to a destination can be communicated.
