Fred,

How would you achieve backwards compatibility with legacy implementations? If 
backwards compatibility cannot be achieved, maybe you are talking about a new 
protocol, that will ultimately replace GRE?

> Abstract:
>    GRE tunnels use IPv4 or IPv6 fragmentation of the delivery packet
>    when the delivery packet exceeds the tunnel MTU, or when otherwise
>    necessary.  This can cause problems when unmitigated IPv4
>    fragemntation ensues, or when middleboxes drop IPv6 fragments
>    unconditionally.  This document proposes GRE tunnel fragmentation
>    which avoids these pitfalls..
