Label Set Object

[schultz@io.iol.unh.edu]

Hello,

There is currently a hot argument over the definition of "subchannel"
text in the definition of the label set object in RFC 3473.

Does each subchannel contain a complete generalized label object with a
complete header?  There are 2 arguments here:

1. each generalized object is variable length field, thus each subchannel
must have an embeded generalized label object.  This will solve the
variable length feature.

2. the Label Type and Length fields from the Label Set object header imply
the lengths of the subchannels and therefore no extra headers are needed
for the subchannels (as is the case in ERO and RRO subobjects).

What is the definition of "Label Type"?  C-types 2 and 3 for generalized
label objects and waveband label objects respectively?

For 3 it is fixed, but for 2 it could be variable length, even though 32
bits are currently the norm.

This should be more clearly defined.

Thanks,
-Ben
