This I-D has – as stated correctly in its security considerations section – no security implications. It is essentially a one line errata to RFC5586. RFC5586 states that a GAL (Generic Associated Channel Label) MUST NOT be used with PWs (Pseudo-Wires). This I-D changes the MUST NOT to a MAY. Any security considerations in using this mechanism would be described in the specification of the associated channel type, and there are no special considerations that would apply in the case of Pseudo-Wires.
