Technical Summary
The "Typed Wildcard Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) Element"
defines an extension to the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) that
can be used when it is desired to request or withdraw or release all
label bindings for a given FEC Element type. However, a typed
wildcard FEC element must be individually defined for each FEC
element type. This specification defines the typed wildcard FEC
elements for the PWid (0x80) and Generalized PWid (0x81) FEC element
types.
