This ACTION releases a point-to-point or a multipoint connection between subnetworkTPs in the atmSubnetwork. The atmSubnetworkConnection or atmSubnetworkTPs are identified directly. The matched atmSubnetworkConnection and associated atmSubnetworkTPs are released. An error condition is raised if a match cannot be made. The retain connections indicator may be used to retain atmLinkConnections and atmSubnetworkConnections after the atmSubnetworkConnection is released. Input: Identifier(s) of the atmSubnetworkConnection or atmSubnetworkTPs, and retain connections indicator. Output: Ids of the released atmSubnetworkConnection and atmSubnetworkTPs. Errors: protocol-specific addressing errors, incorrectTerminationPoints, incorrectSubnetworkConnection. Results: Release of atmSubnetworkConnection and an associated atmSubnetworkTPs. A response indicating partial release (indicating both successful and unsuccessful end points) will be generated in cases where a multipoint atmSubnetworkConnection release attempt neither completely succeeds (all endpoints released), nor completely fails (zero endpoints released).
