You might want to try looking at "Large-Scale IP Network Solutions" by Kahlid Raza (Cisco Press). It covers some of these topics, but it doesn't really provide a head-to-head comparison. However, it might provide you with the information that you need to conduct your own study. I'd also

Tough question. Currently, ATM is the predominant control protocol in service provider networks, but that is starting to change. The complexity of managing IP-over-ATM overlay networks, as well as the loss of efficiency due to the ATM cell-tax (especially on high-speed links) is causing many

I'm not sure I understand. If you use MPLS in an ATM environment, you simply replace the VCI/VPI tag with an MPLS label. Most implementations of MPLS in today's world use ATM cells at the data link layer. BTW, we might want to take this off of this list as this topic isn't related to Cisco
