Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Module Installation and User Guide

Overview

 

functions make it possible for service providers to tunnel customer-specific VLANs 
across a common ATM backbone in a very simple manner.

VLAN to PVC Mapping.  

VLAN to PVC mapping can be used by service providers to 

isolate and provision a customer’s traffic using different VLANs and PVCs for each 
customer. Thus, a service provider can securely transport a customer’s Ethernet traffic 
across an ATM backbone or vice-versa.
