Hi David,

Perhaps I may have missed the discussion on this in the other WGs but I have two comments/questions ...

* Why the decision on enhancing the load balancing capability of IP encapsulated packet has to be signaled as opposed to be a local matter of the ingress router performing encapsulation ?

* Reg use of GRE key for the purpose of load balancing I must say that GRE key has already been proposed in number of solutions today. Therefor overloading more on it may be impractical. Did authors analyzed use of Sequence Numbers in GRE header instead for the purpose of increasing effectiveness of load-balancing by the transit nodes ?

Cheers,
R.


All -
Following the last IETF meeting all comments have been addressed in:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-softwire-lb-02

The authors have requested a WG LC and I have added L3VPN and PWE3 that may be interested and have comments on the technology. Please send back all comments by May 7, 2009.

Thanks

DWard, Alain
