This is most likely the Control Bus the will send a signal to the CPU that the disk drive became active.

If you noticed, eveytime you insert a CD, in Windows, a dialog pops up asking the user what to do. This occurs because the controller for this device sends that signal through the Control Bus which interupts the CPU.

What is meant by connection state information in a virtual circuit network?

In a virtual circuit network, information exchange occurs in a dedicated path between the source and the destination. Each active path is given some Virtual Circuit number on the fly. The routers in this path need to keep information about this path and to which interface the data, coming from a particular interface, has to be redirected. This information is termed as connection state information. Whenever a new connection is established, this 'connection state information' has to be updated in router's table, and whenever the connection completes exchanging data this 'connection state information' has to be discarded. In short, connection state information is the information required/maintained by a router to redirect data, to proper interface, in an active connection.
