The Security Considerations for this Draft are not sufficient by today's standards in my opinion. The Security Considerations of RFC2784 does not even discuss data protection (encryption) or tunnel end point authentication issues, and this draft basically just references RFC2784. Any proper discussion of Security Considerations for this topic should at least include references on these issues. I point you to RFC4023 section 8, for an much more in depth handling of Security Considerations of similar issues.

I'm not sure its necessary to go to that depth, but some pointers to IPSec and/or SSL would seem a minimum, especially since IPSec was suppose to be a key feature for IPv6. Also, RFC6196 has a good discussion of security issues with tunnels in general.

Thanks

Dear Int-Area and 6man WGs,

At the Int-Area WG meeting in Dallas there were some comments on
draft-ietf-intarea-gre-ipv6. It was decided to submit the document for
WG Last Call to the Int-Area & 6man WGs as soon as the agreed changes
were made.

The document has now been updated accordingly, so this email starts an
Int-Area/6man WGs Last Call on:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-intarea-gre-ipv6-04

Please respond to this email to support the document and/or send
comments by 2015-04-06.

In addition, to satisfy RFC 6702 "Promoting Compliance with Intellectual
Property Rights (IPR)":

Are you personally aware of any IPR that applies to
draft-ietf-intarea-gre-ipv6?

If so, has this IPR been disclosed in compliance with IETF IPR rules?

(See RFCs 3979, 4879, 3669, and 5378 for more details.)

Best,

Juan Carlos Zuniga

(as Int-Area WG co-chair)
