Technical Summary
This document describes two technology-independent extensions to
Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching. The first extension
defines the new switching type Data Channel Switching Capable. Data
Channel Switching Capable interfaces are able to support switching of
the whole digital channel presented on single channel interfaces.
The second extension defines a new type of generalized label and
updates related objects. The new label is called the Generalized
Channel_Set Label and allows more than one data plane label to be
controlled as part of an LSP.
Working Group Summary

Document Quality
There are no known implementations, but it is expected that several
vendors plan to implement.
