Hi Lizhong, Sorry for the delay. Vxlan-gpe version 08 should now contain the appropriate reference to [I-D.lemon-vxlan-lisp-gpe-gbp]. Let me know if I’m missing anything.
I know designing ASICs with the added flexibility required by the shim headers comes at a cost. Ultimately implementations will have to choose which extensions to support, and how much buffer to dedicate for unsupported extensions. I don’t think there’s a general rule that can be applied. Do you have any suggestion? Restricting to control plane functions might be too much, even some of the OAM features might end up being implemented in the dataplane. Wrt GBP it’s a fairly well known use case, but not universally deployed so we wanted to leave to implementors the decision to support or not that extension.

I saw the "Next Protocol" assigned to GBP changed from 0x6 to 0x80, and the reference of [I-D.lemon-vxlan-lisp-gpe-gbp] should be updated from version 01 to version 02 which confused me in my first reading. I am not clear why GBP do such kind of update, do you have any design principles for the "Next Protocol" assignment for range from 0x80 to 0xFF? Some practical design principles in the document would benefit the industry. And since shim header is a TLV style, I tend to ask if it would be practical to restrict the shim header to be used only for OAM and control purpose. That would greatly simplify the ASIC design. Regards Lizhong
