Absolutely. And so does DNS over TLS. A lot of sense. But if you start encoding the BGP protocol data in the TLS session as HTTP so you can tunnel it over a shared 443 port to some distant endpoint, and even traverse HTTP proxies, then it would look like a joke. Or in the DoH case, would make you wish it was a joke. Bjørn
