Yes, this runs on the m/c address, so an application request for
the Ethernet address would have this functionality.

I am not sure how this works other than over the channel?

You could operate this over any LSP or PW including the null LSP, and
channel seems to cover that.

GAP is an announcement protocol. If you wish to announce something
you will need a protocol to do that, even if you carry it over say UDP/IP.
