Hi All,

I know the RFCs clearly defined for IP/MPLS/ATM that only VC mux is allowed
to encapsulate an MPLS labeled IP packet into ATM cells.  However, I have
not seen any document specifying what encapsulation needs to be used for
IP/MPLS/Ethernet frame goes over an ATM backbone. LLC-SNAP encapsulation or
VC mux?

Thanks a lot.
