ATM PVP Tunneling and Soft PVC's sample ?

I am looking at tunneling PVP's over a service provider WAN to allow
me to configure soft PVCs which will re route on a failure within the
service provider.

My questions :

1.If i configure the PVP tunnel accross the SP network what config if
    any will I have to do to get SVC's running over the PVP Tunnel so
    that I can configure the soft PVC's ?

    From CCO its not clear it looks as if I just configure the PVP and PNNI
    will run up over it automatically and learn the ASEA prefixs and I am
sorted.

2.What kind of re-route times should I be expecting assuming I am running
    PNNI ?

3.Will PNNI alone be sufficient to spot a link failure or should I be
configuring
     OAM as well , the lowest OAM timers seem very short ?

4. How you done this and is it worth the pain/effort ?

I dont have enough LS1010's to test this in the Lab so a customer is
giving me 6 or seven LS1010's and a few Newbridge ATM SP switches
to look at this :o(.

I can most likely get away using the routing protocols on the routers
to "route" around a failed PVC but I would like to have all angles covered
in case I decide to put something other than data across the network.
Also I feel that I am a closet WAN guy waiting to break free of this
"networking" stuff.

Regards,
Kevin
