White Paper Abstract:
Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) allows service providers who offer Layer 2 (L2) connectivity to expand service offerings by connecting Ethernet, ATM, Frame Relay, Serial/PPP and TDM networks through an MPLS backbone. AToM is Cisco's implementation of Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) for IP/MPLS networks. AToM is a scalable architecture based on label switching that allows multiplexing of connections. It is also standards-based open architecture and can be extended to other transport types
