Is a smooth transition possible at all?
If, by transition, you mean running mpls on the atm gears, my impression was
carriers seem not like messing their ATM network with mpls,  there always be
exceptions. I can see the financial gains of doing this is huge, but a
smooth transition is just beyond my limited imagination.

Let's hope the router vendors can eventually build routers as stable as ATM
switches, IMHO, this could come before any smooth transition could be
invented.
