Hi,

Just looking now, this document is seriously messed up. It leaves open
the possibility for denial of service to IPv6 packets of 1280 bytes or
smaller which is a violation of the robustness principle. I had the same
comment regarding the other GRE document.

If people want to see how to handle tunnel MTU, please review
Section 3.13 of draft-templin-aerolink.

Thanks - Fred
