[nsp] oam-pvc manage packet loss

If your ATM provider is anything like our ATM team
then the line:

  vbr-nrt 2048 2048 32

Should read:

    vbr-nrt 2000 2000 32

They take the engineering version of mega rather
than the computer one. On 34Mb/s pvc its a lot of
bandwidth that they save.

Regards,
Kevin

the reason/solution? I will appreciate any idea.

Why do you think it's the OAM configuration that causes packet loss?

If you really mean exactly what you have written here: Try specifying
a traffic class for the first configiuration, ie.

interface ATM8/0/0.205 point-to-point
 ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.252
 ip ospf network point-to-point
 pvc 0/205
  vbr-nrt 2048 2048 32
  oam-pvc manage
  encapsulation aal5snap
