This (and the companion document draft-ietf-6man-udpzero) seem ready for publication to me.

I do have a minor questions. It is sufficiently minor that if necessary it may be ignored so publication can proceed.

I section 5, bullet 3 talks about "tunnel protocol will not significantly increase the rate of corruption of the inner packet", and then talks about needing to use additional integrity verification if there is a risk of such increased corruption. My question is, what kind of encapsulating protocol would or could, by its nature, create such a risk? It is not at all clear to me what a protocol designer should be watching for.

Yours,
Joel

All,

This message starts a two week 6MAN Working Group on advancing:

        Title           : IPv6 and UDP Checksums for Tunneled Packets
        Author(s)       : Marshall Eubanks
                           P.F. Chimento
                           Magnus Westerlund
        Filename        : draft-ietf-6man-udpchecksums-06.txt
        Pages           : 12
        Date            : 2012-12-11

         https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-udpchecksums/

as Proposed Standard.  This last call is being done given the number of changes 
and the time since the earlier last calls.  The changes were discussed at the 
Atlanta IETF 6man session.  The authors believe these changes will resolve the 
open IESG Discusses.  Our AD will start a concurrent IETF last call as well.

Substantive comments and statements of support for advancing this document 
should be directed to the mailing list.  Editorial suggestions can be sent to 
the authors.  This last call will end on 26 December 2012.

Regards,

Bob Hinden & Ole Trøan
