Can Cisco routers be configured for SVCs over PVPs?
A. No, because Cisco routers cannot establish SVCs over PVP connections. Routers are not capable of the performance of UNI Signaling over any VPI other than 0. Most ATM Service Providers do not allow customers signaling over VPI 0. The router needs to be connected to an ATM switch which is configured with a PVP into the ATM Service Provider cloud. A PVP can be configured on routers so that the whole VP can be traffic-shaped in order to prevent the network operator from the need to configure traffic shaping for each PVC that uses the same VPI.
