Layer 2 Circuits Trunk Mode

Using Layer 2 circuit trunk mode, you can configure Layer 2 circuits to carry ATM trunks, providing a way to link ATM switches over an MPLS core network.

Layer 2 circuit trunk mode allows you to configure the following CoS features:

• CoS queues in Layer 2 circuit trunk mode—For ATM2 IQ interfaces, you can configure ATM CoS queues for Layer 2 circuit trunk mode.
• Layer 2 circuit trunk mode scheduling—For ATM2 IQ interfaces configured to use Layer 2 circuit trunk mode, you can share a scheduler among 32 trunks on an ATM port.
• Two early packet discard (EPD) thresholds per queue—For ATM2 IQ interfaces configured to use Layer 2 circuit trunk mode, you can set two EPD thresholds that depend on the packet-loss priorities (PLPs) of the packets.

For a detailed overview and configuration documentation, see the JUNOS Network Interfaces Configuration Guide and JUNOS Class of Service Configuration Guide.
