If I understand this correctly, cisco routers support this RFC 3032 feature. Then the next question is, Do any Cisco routers support VoMPLS, where lines would bring analog or digital voice into voice ports and the router would translate (transcode?) the stream into bits that are encapsulated as the payload of MPLS frames in accord with MPLS Forum Implementation Agreement dated July 27, 2001? I'm not sure about the addressing and other details, but I'd just like to know if cisco routers can do this wihtout the intervention of IP packets. (And approximately what classifying, marking and queueing would the routers use on the PPP links if other traffic such as IP or IPX non-voice data were also present. But that is asking too much at this point. Maybe later.)
