Okay, this should work for PVCs. But this wouldn't work for soft-vc's.

We're using soft-vc's for redundancy reasons in some scenarios. So our
network will self repair the failure of one router, atm-switch or interlink
between to pops.

As I see, there's probably no way to replace the lightstream with a device,
which could be atm-switch as well as router. So we need to rely on a
atm-switch at the pop.
