Summary:  Ready with minor nits.

Major issues: None.

Minor issues: Read on..

Editorials/nits:
 o My “complaint” of this document is basically on the following.. these are writing
   style things so feel free to neglect:
   - It repeats.. the same statements multiple times.
   - When reading the document I get the feeling it is actually two documents. The
     technical specification (which is very short) and the general deployment
     considerations document. I would have split it to two but that is just me.

The other nits.

 o There are bunch of acronyms that are not expanded either never or on their first use. 
   Some examples include UDP, DSCP, DS, PMTU, MPLS, VNP, .. Pay attention to these.
[Lucy] I will check. 
 o In the Introduction give a reference to EtherType e.g., the repository where they
   are maintained or by whom they are maintained.
[Lucy] I will put RFC7042 as the reference.
 o On line 129 is says: 
	   This document specifies GRE-in-UDP tunnel requirements for two
   Based on the earlier text I would suggest saying “..document also specifies..”
[Lucy] ack.
 o On line 143 I would also (following the previous style in the paragraph) capitalize
   “wide area networks” as well.
[Lucy] ack.
 o In multiple places (lines 236, 887) the reference is after the full stop. Place full
   stop after the reference.
[Lucy] My mistake. Will correct them.
 o The document uses both tunnel ingress/egress and encapsulator/decapsulator. Is there a
   specific reason to have this differentiation? If not use common terminology throughout
   the document.
[Lucy] I would prefer to use two teams in the document. Tunnel ingress and egress is the view from network perspective,
And encapsulator/decapsulator is the view at the ingress or egress. E.g. it is odd to say encapsulator IP address. I open to add a clarification if that causes a concern.

 o On line 654 is says:
 	        MUST comply with requirement 1 and 8-10 in Section 5 of
   How is this “MUST” enforced?
[Lucy] Do you concern on the wording or the implementation? 

 o In Section 7.1 I find it a bit odd discussing NATs in the specific context of IPv6. If
   you have a specific IPv6 NAT scenario in mind either spell it out or give a reference
   to a specification that describes the technology/use case.
[Lucy] This section describes middlebox specialty on IPv6 traffic. Most UDP applications do not perform UDP checksum in IPv4 network; most UDP applications perform UDP checksum in IPv6 network because of IPv6 requirement [RFC2460]. Thus some middleboxes validate UDP checksum if it is in IPv6. [RFC6935] [RFC6936] relax the need to perform UDP checksum in some special cases, which is applicable to this draft. But we need to state out the potential impact that is specific in IPv6.  
 o In Section 8 and lines 784-785 has a “MUST NOT” for traffic that is not known to be
   congestion-controlled.. I would be interested in knowing how to enforce this “MUST”
   specifically in the Internet case.
[Lucy] By IETF standard. :)  How about replace "MUST NOT" with "are not appropriate"? (match the wording in requirement 3 of Section 2.1.1)  
 o Line 909 typo “ether” -> “either”.
[Lucy] ack. Thx. 

Regards,
Lucy
