We try to use some of our PVPs in a manner similar to what you're trying to
do. Some of the PVPs we get from Bell Canada are VBR-NRT according to the
contract but we terminate them on our equipment as CBR and we create CBR
PVCs over them to carry live video traffic. We are still testing this
configuration and we've had few problems with clocking  that we are trying
to resolve. Bell's network is made up of Newbridge 36170s and our network is
made up of Cisco LS1010s. Some PVPs we terminate as UBR (strange but true
because we had few issues with createing SVCs through VBR PVPs), and they
carry data traffic only.
