Hi Seb, Thanks much for your feedback. I will study them closely to see how to best incorporate them into the doc.
I have some initial replies to your observations.

Because I wrote the draft in view of the final destination of the info, which is the sysadmin guide, I went ahead and accepted the IP tunnel introduction that is currently in the book. But I do see the need to make the conceptual distinctions clear, as a consequence of this new feature, in order to illustrate the distinctions in the administrative model. So that's what I'll target. > Also, there is no tie-in with IPsec in here, and I think there needs to be. > This is especially important given the IPsec tunnel reform work that is > happening (are you in touch with the documentation writer for that > project?).

She will be handling the information as it applies specifically to IPsec. I'll make sure to coordinate with her so that we are in sync. Thanks again for the detailed comments. They help a lot. Raoul
