Unique features of ATM LSRs: • Must exchange control-plane IP packets over an
ATM-control VC. SAR is required• Use of VCI or VPI/VCI fields to carry label• Pushing or popping labels within an ATM LSR
domain is not supported• New mechanisms for detecting and preventing
loops

• Issues: – Label space partitioning– Resource partitioning– CoS and QoS support

Using both VPI and VCI fields for direct connection:

Using VCI Field for Indirect Connection:

Advantages of ATM MPLS over IP over ATM: • Single control plane• Removing the need for N^2 full meshed
connectivity among edge routers• Simplify the QoS management: now CoS to LSP
mapping is possible• Native ATM can be supported
Problems: • Cell tax• SAR bottleneck
