Just for clarity on this point:

I suggested that BESS was the right place to discuss whether and how to use BGP
to indicate tunnel types.

I also observed that a code point already exists in the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation
Attribute Tunnel Types registry at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-parameters/bgp-parameters.xhtml#tunnel-types

Therefore the debate the WG needs to have (perhaps before debating adoption of
this document) is:

- whether the existing code point is enough for the purpose of identifying 
  MPLS-in-UDP tunnels or whether more work is needed
- whether a foo-in-UDP tunnel type should be used instead with sub-TLVs
  to identify the different cases of foo.
