[nsp] ATM switching on a 7200

Hi,

Correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think a router can switch a cell based
only on the vp value,due to the
fact that it has to turn cells into a packet as it receives them from an ATM
interface,segment it
again into cells and transmit out to an ATM interface.The router needs an ip
address to bind the packets
into a pvc,or some sort of bridging between ATM interfaces which i don't
think is working for a whole vp.
A possible solution could be to terminate (rather than trying to cell
switch) the pvp's on the router sw7200 interfaces and cef-switch on the
individual pvc's.

Regards

Kostas
