   There is an alternative that allows AAL5 to be used for mpt-to-mpt
   connections.  Namely, set up the connection as a switched VP and
   either: 1) allocate a unique VCI to each transmitter

this is worth considering now that we have switched VP capability in uni
4.0 signalling and thatfwhich many switches have already implemented for
soft pvp purposes.

i don't remember how AAL3/4 implements MID allocation, but vci allocation
protocol could be something similar.
