Switching decision is made solely based on VPI number (unlike both VPI and VCI for VC switching) which reduces administration as well as allows for faster switching of cells.

Some Concepts

VP interface is a multiplexing/demultiplexing point on ATM switch at which VC’s from various (ATM interfaces) are aggregated to VP on an Interface.

VP’s are ATM connections that are aggregate of multiple VC’s that all have same VPI number.

VP’s are most often used across WANs.

1- VC (Virtual Channel): VC’s are uniquely identified on port of ATM switch by VPI and VCI number.

2- VP (Virtual Path): VP’s are uniquely identified on ATM port by VPI number on ATM port.

There are 2 major type of ATM connections

ATM cells arriving on VC are switched based on both VPI and VCI number in cell header.

On other hand ATM cells arriving on VP are Switched based on VPI number only.

Configuration of ATM switch will determine If switch is supposed to be VC or VP switchingFor specific VPI/VCI pair or VPI respectively.

•A cell is switch at VC or VP level.

•VC Switching - Switch receive a cell with a configured VPI and VCI, it lookup its connection table to determine outgoing port (or ports) with new VPI/VCI value.

2.1- Shaped VP Tunnels are first supported in 11.2(8.0.1)FWA4 vs of IOS 11.1 and WA3 release trains do not Support shaped VP Tunnels.

2.2- For software vs after 11.3(0.8)TWA4 it is supported for service category of VC’swithin shaped tunnel To be on CBR.

2.3- For earlier software vs that do support shaped VP tunnel VC’s within shaped CBR tunnel have to be of CBR service category.

3- Hierarchical VP Tunnels of CBR service category are supported on LS1010 with FC-PFQ, Catalyst 8510-MSR and Catalyst 8540-MSR. Minimum software requirement is W5 train of IOS.

If the VP Service Provider is Policing, the connection will most likely experience cell drops in the Service Provider network.

Q: How to overcome this?

A: Configure Shaped VP Tunnels.

2- Catalyst 8540-MSR supports maximum of 8x64=512 shaped VP tunnels: maximum of 64 shaped VP tunnelsCan be defined on each of the following interface groups: (0/0/x, 1/0/x), (0/1/x, 1/1/x), (2/0/x, 3/0/x), (2/1/x, 3/1/x),(9/0/x, 10/0/x), (9/1/x, 10/1/x), (11/0/x, 12/0/x), and (11/1/x, 12/1/x).

3- The bandwidth of the shaped VP tunnel is shared by the active VC’s inside the tunnel in strict round-robin(RR) fashion.

4- Shaped VP tunnels do not support merged VC’s for tag switching.

5- UBR+ and ABR VC’s with non-zero MCR are not allowed on a shaped VP tunnel interface.

6- A maximum of 128 VC’s can transit s shaped VP tunnel interface.

Restriction for Hierarchical VP Tunnels

1- LS1010 with FC-PFQ, Catalyst 5500 with ASP and FC-PFQ and Catalyst 8510-MSR support maximum of62 hierarchical VP Tunnels.

2- Hierarchical VP Tunnels can only be defined on ports in slots 0 and 3 on LS1010 and Catalyst 8510-MSR.Hierarchical VP Tunnels can be defined in slots 9 and 11 on Catalyst 5500 with ASP and FC-PFQ.

3- LS1010 equiped with FC-PFQ and ASP-B supports maximum of 30 hierarchical VP tunnels on ports 0/0/zAnd 3/0/z combined, and maximum of 32 on ports 0/1/z and 3/1/z combined. Use “sh hardware” command to Find out type of ASP and feature card.

4- LS1010 equiped with FC-PFQ and ASP-C as well as Catalyst 8510-MSR support maximum of 30 Hierarchical VP tunnels on ports 0/y/z and maximum of 32 on ports 3/y/z.

5- On Catalyst 5500 with ASP and FC-PFQ Maximum of 30 hierarchical VP tunnels can be defined on ports 9/0/z and11/0/7 combined. Maximum of 32 hierarchical VP tunnels can be defined on ports 9/1/z and 11/1/z Combined.

6- On Catalyst 8540-MSR hierarchical VP tunnels can be defined on slots 0,2,9 and 11.

Restriction for Hierarchical VP Tunnels

7- Maximum number of hierarchical VP Tunnels varies between 120 and 240 depending on type of PAM’sUsed. If all the ports are Super PAM’s (full with modules) the maximum number of VP tunnels supportedIs 240. If all the ports installed are Supper Cam’s with LS1010 PAM’s maximum number of hierarchicalVP tunnels is 120.

8- Hierarchical VP tunnels can not co-exist with any other type of connection (VC’s, VP’s, Tag VC’s regularOr shaped VP tunnels etc.) on the same physical interface. So, the only type of connection that can coexistWith hierarchical VP tunnel on same physical interface are additional hierarchical VP tunnels and well Known VC’s (signaling 0/5, PNNI, 0/18, ILMI 0/16 etc.).

9- Hierarchical VP Tunnels can support only ATM Forum VC’s or only Tag VC’s, but not both at the same time.

10- When doing OIR (on line insertion and removal) of PAM that has hierarchical VP tunnels configuredFor its ports, configuration of hierarchical tunnel will be preserved. So if same PAM is inserted backIn hierarchical VP Tunnel will automaticly be active. However,if different type of PAM is to be insertedIt is strongly recommended that any configured hierarchical VP Tunnel (on port about to be removed) beDeleted prior to physical removal of PAM.
