Performance issues in VC-merge capable switches for multiprotocol label switching.

In a multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) domain, ATM label-switching routers (LSRs) are potentially capable of providing the highest forwarding capacity in the backbone network. Virtual circuit (VC) merging is a mechanism in an ATM-LSR that allows many IP routes to be mapped to the same VC label an...
