Bharathi,

Though I do not know much about GMPLS, however the draft

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-routing-04.txt

states that
"If an interface is of type PSC-1 through PSC-4, it means that the node
receiving data over this interface can switch the received data on a
packet-by-packet basis, based on the label carried in the "shim" header
[RFC3032]. The various levels of PSC establish a hierarchy of LSPs tunneled
within LSPs."
Hope this is what you were looking for,

Thanks,
Vishwas
