Any Transport over MPLS (AToM)
In Chapter 10, "Implementing VPNs with Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Version 3," you were introduced to the configuration and benefits of implementing L2TPv3 in IP-enabled networks to deliver Layer 2 VPNs. In this chapter, you will be introduced to the configuration of Layer 2 VPN implementations in an MPLS-enabled network and how it has played an important role in service provider environments. This chapter covers the following topics:
- Introduction to Layer 2 VPNs
- Implementing AToM for like to like circuits
- Implementing AToM for any to any circuits
- Local switching
