Eddie,

That wording was unclear. I attempted to clarify in my later emails, but maybe 
I didn't succeed. I'm well aware that you need to consider the UDP ports for a 
6-tuple receiver. As you have reminded us, you need this for NAT traversal. I 
think you also need this in order to make an effective user-space 
implementation of the encapsulation daemon, although clearly I'm being unable 
to explain that today. 

tl;dr: I vote for the 6-tuple.
