Re: [bess] Request for WG adoption of draft-xu-bess-encaps-udp//RE: Why transform draft-xu-softwire-encaps-udp to draft-xu-bess-encaps-udp

[Xuxiaohu <[e-mail]>]

Besides the reasons as mentioned below, since the BGP Encapsulation SAFI for UDP or MPLS-in-UDP is not only applicable to BGP/MPLS-based L2VPN (including VPLS and EVPN) and BGP/MPLS-based L3VPN, but also be applicable to other use cases (e.g., incremental deployment of BGP-based Segment Routing), it seems better to specify it in a separate doc rather than in the end-system-l3vpn draft (http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-l3vpn-end-system/) which is dedicated for how to use XMPP as a replacement of the BGP-L3VPN signaling, IMHO.

Best regards,
Xiaohu
