Rest assured you are not the only person that seems to be confused and I
guess that means we  are doing a bad job of explaining the basics of GMPLS. 

Note that in GMPLS as with MPLS in general, any given level of LSP does not
really care what it is carrying. So, a wavelength which is setup can carry
TDM/SONET but it could carry an analog signal for all we care. So the answer
to your question is 'yes'.

	Please give me pointers for understanding the basic
	concept of GMPLS more clearly. I have gone through
	some of the documents/drafts on this. Still don't
	seems to be getting the basic idea of it. Hence,
	the following question.

	If I have setuped an end-to-end generallized LSP.
	Where a label is effectively a representation of
	a wavelength between two nodes. Is it possible that
	a complete TDM frame can be transported over the
	setuped LSP (after converting the electrical signal
	into a photonic signal)?

	Expecting lot of rough comments,

	Regards,
	MERIS
