Joe,

The latter. The following is text from the draft:

" This document specifies GRE procedures for IPv6, used as either the
  payload or delivery protocol.  It updates RFC 2784 [RFC2784].  Like
  RFC 2784, this specification describes GRE how has been implemented
  by several vendors."

You are asking for Proposed Standards status. That goes beyond documenting
just "what is", and specifies once and for all "what will forever be".


RFC 2784, a Proposed Standard, does exactly what you say goes beyond what it 
should do (forever).

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2784#section-1
   Finally this specification describes the intersection of GRE
   currently deployed by multiple vendors.

In other words, PS and “what is” are not conflicting.

— Carlos.

Thanks - Fred

So, what I am saying is that tunnels should support a guaranteed
minimum MTU of 1500 bytes as in 'draft-templin-aerolink'.

That depends on whether this document describes "what should be" vs.
"what is".

I had thought it was the latter.

Joe
