چکیده
Layer 3 switching is a subject vehemently discussed in the networking community. In addition to a number of manufacturer-specific approaches, Multi-Protocol Over ATM (MPOA) and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) are the most important examples of this technology. MPOA [1,2] was released in 1997 by the ATM Forum; MPLS [3,4] is a collection of IETF Internet drafts. This paper presents the concept of MPOA and reports on experiences resulting from the practical use of MPOA implementations from several manufacturers. The report also discusses the areas in which MPOA can be appropriately employed. Two years after the release of the MPOA standard, time has come to critically discuss the original objective of MPOA, to examine the implementations of several manufacturers and to compare MPOA with other solutions and their objectives.

Involvement of serotonin 5HT1 and 5HT2 receptors and nitric oxide synthase in the medial preoptic area on gonadotropin secretion.
Due to the stimulatory action of serotonin (5HT) and nitric oxide (NO) on the secretion of gonadotropins and PRL, this work aimed at investigating the participation of serotoninergic receptors 5HT(1) and 5HT(2) of the medial preoptic area (MPOA) in the control of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and prolactin (PRL) secretion and the possible modulation by ovarian ste...
متن کاملThe effects of nitric oxide-cGMP pathway stimulation on dopamine in the medial preoptic area and copulation in DHT-treated castrated male rats.
Dopamine (DA) in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) provides important facilitative influence on male rat copulation. We have shown that the nitric oxide-cGMP (NO-cGMP) pathway modulates MPOA DA levels and copulation. We have also shown that systemic estradiol (E(2)) maintains neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) immunoreactivity in the MPOA of castrates, as well as relatively normal DA levels. This effect...
متن کاملEffects of testosterone metabolites on copulation, medial preoptic dopamine, and NOS-immunoreactivity in castrated male rats.
The medial preoptic area (MPOA) is an important integrative site for male sexual behavior. Dopamine (DA) is released in the MPOA of male rats shortly before and during copulation. In a previous study, we identified 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) as the metabolite of testosterone (T) that maintains MPOA basal extracellular DA levels. However, the presence of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), an androgenic met...
متن کاملExtracellular dopamine in the medial preoptic area: implications for sexual motivation and hormonal control of copulation.
Dopamine (DA) activity in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) contributes to the control of male rat sexual behavior. We tested (1) whether extracellular DA increases during precopulatory exposure to an estrous female and during copulation, (2) whether exposure to another male increases extracellular DA, (3) whether motor activity during copulation accounts for increased DA levels, and (4) whether ...
متن کاملMulti-Protocol Over ATM (MPOA): Performance Tests
MPOA is a solution for routed networks to benefit more from the underlying ATM network and its QoS properties. MPOA offers more scalability, performance and lower latency than it is possible get from a router based network. MPOA builds on many existing protocols and combines them to a scalable layer 3 switched routing solution. In this paper the performance and delay characteristics of an MPOA ...
