A technique for dynamically adjusting the aging time of a shortcut virtual circuit connection (VCC) in a Multi-protocol over ATM (MPOA) client based on one or more factors. In one embodiment a method of dynamically adjusting, aging time of a shortcut VCC includes detecting a packet flow between a source and a destination, establishing a shortcut VCC between the source and destination, and adjusting an aging time of the shortcut VCC in response to the number of VCCs available by the MPOA client. In other embodiment the aging time is, dynamically adjusted based on the VCC threshold level the protocol of the , flow, and/or the application type of the flow.
