Configuring VP Tunnels

This section describes configuring virtual path (VP) tunnels, which provide the ability to interconnect
ATM switch routers across public networks using PVPs. You can configure a VP tunnel to carry a single
service category, or you can configure a VP tunnel to carry multiple service categories, including merged
VCs.
