Yes, the comments on MTU probing were intended for the GRE IPv6 draft; was
out of the office for several days and away from email, so lost context and got
off track. Sorry.

However, in *this* draft I suggest adding the following trailing sentence to the
final paragraph of the Security Considerations section:

   "These attacks can be mitigated when the ingress and egress are within the
   same well-managed administrative domain, where ingress filtering is employed
   to prevent source address spoofing."

Thanks - Fred
