Subject: Identifying a kind of LSP in GMPLS.

Hi,
The draft "draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-signalling-08.txt" specifies the
LSP encoding type, switching type and the payload being carried in the
Generalized Label Request. It is not clear on how to identify the
LSP kind by looking at the values mentioned.
Consider the following cases -
1) What are the typical values if a LSP traversing ATM switches is to be
established? Is it like -
    LSP Encoding type - Packet
    Switching type - L2SC
    GPID - ATM Mapping.  (But the draft specifies ATM mapping for
SDH/SONET technologies).
2) What are the values if a LSP traversing FR switches is to be
established? There is nothing like GPID - FR??

Please clarify on the above.
Regards
Vinay
