Do we have Cell-mode MPLS in production in any where?
I saw cell-mode MPLS was supported from Cisco BPX/MGX.
But if you plan to use it with router platform, you have to use
frame-mode MPLS.
So I thought cell-mode MPLS was not advanced to production at all.
The reason of deploying MPLS is to get rid of ATM or other underlying
mechanism.
