>From the MPLS Resource Center FAQ: "c. What is "Ships in the night"? Some vendors support the running of MPLS and ATM in the same device. Generally speaking, these two processes run separately. A change in an MPLS path has no bearing on ATM virtual circuits. This practice is commonly referred to "ships in the night" since the two processes act alone. However, in some cases, there is some interaction between the two processes. For example, some vendors support a mechanism whereby a reservation of resources by a label switch path is detected by the ATM control mechanism to avoid resource conflicts." I have implemented this type of architecture on the BPX. You can divide the available resources between the two configurations and eliminate the conflicts.

Hi, I know this means a box having MPLS+ATM capabilities. Just curious why such a name though.... Know I am digressing, but would appreciate an answer. ===== --RS __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!
