Any Transport over MPLS
Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) transports Layer 2 packets over a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) backbone. AToM enables service providers to connect customer sites with existing data link layer (Layer 2) networks by using a single, integrated, packet-based network infrastructure—
a Cisco MPLS network. Instead of using separate networks with network management environments, service providers can deliver Layer 2 connections over an MPLS backbone. AToM provides a common framework to encapsulate and transport supported Layer 2 traffic types over an MPLS network core.Configuration Information
