I think that providing circuit emulation over IP or MPLS/IP networks
should be simply forgotten. If ATM remains alive it is for this very
application. To really provide this over IP you would need to use RSVP's
int serv model what as you know never scaled to the production
capacities of any service provider. 

With L2 transport or with L3 routing you can achive achive almost the
same set of applications VoIP, videoconferecing etc, trunking what you
would use circuit emulation but this is different - those new end
systems and applications are desiged to work over IP networks. 

Old fashined devices desined to use circuit emulation are not.

Also you should not be mistaken about differences of carrying ATM cell
payload of AAL5 mostly used for data communication over IP/MPLS networks
and trying to carry in the same way AAL1 (circuit emulation ATM
adaptation layer).
