Yeah.  I think it's OK and even good to strip the padding before encapsulation.
So we should do that.  I just wanted to make sure I understand how the issue
happened in the first place.

Thanks for confirming that the padding indeed is not zero.  Though it is 
concerning
that we're receiving more reports about hardware switches adding non-zero 
padding
to packets.
