I think ARIS is a very interesting proposal, especially the algorithm
to make (loop-free) trees for each egress router.

In section 2 of ARIS I-D:
 > Some ATM switching components can "merge" multiple inbound VCs onto
 > one outbound VC at close to standard switching rates.

Could anybody tell me which products can merge VCs?
Does it support merging of AAL5 VCs?


By the way, I updated my comparison table of Ipsilon's IP Switch,
Toshiba's CSR, Cisco's Tag Switch, IBM's ARIS and Telecom Finland's SITA.
Due to limitation of time and lack of my language ability, there might be
my misunderstanding and should be important items remained undescribed.
If you found such items, could you tell me?

The URL of my table is located at:
  <URL:http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/demizu/inet/mlr.html>

The table grows big now and you had better to view the table with a big
screen like 1280x1024.

Thanks.
