3GPP CT4 sees Network Slice consists of 5GC slice and transport slice while 
what's the transport slice is out of scope. As the 5GC control plane has 
maintained the context of 5GC slice, no identifier is needed in user plane to 
indicate *5GC slice*. Existing identifiers like VIDs, MPLS labels and IP 
addresses can be expected to indicate transport slices if it exists.
