Hi WG,

One comment on the following text with <RG>:

   - We have a standardized associated channel, the GAL/GACH. We are not
   going to change the associated channel in anyway that breaks existing
   implementations. The ACH is found immediately after the label carrying the
   Bottom of Stack (BoS) bit. Currently, there is no defined method to carry
   multiple ACHs in the same MPLS packet. *GAL/GACH will only be an OAM or
   instrumentation tool and will not be used to carry meta-data with
   user-traffic. *

<RG> The last sentence needs some clarification. The packet with GAL is
punted out of the fast path in forwarding, so user-traffic does not carry
it, so it makes sense. However, packets could carry GACH without GAL. The
user-traffic could also carry a GACH without GAL if use-case makes sense. I
am not sure we are ready to add this restriction just yet.

Thanks,
Rakesh
