DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This model tries to squeeze the 20 bit IPv6 flow label into a 16 bit field.
This will result in a loss of data and needs to be fixed before the document is
published.

* Section 3

=> Under

identity ipv6-decapsulation {

it looks like the description is wrong ("IPv4 tunnel decapsulation.")

=>  What use case is the ttl-action decrease-and-copy-to-inner used for?

=> Under
case egress-interface-mac-nexthop {

It is not clear to me how you fit a MAC address into a 32 bit space ,or am I
misreading this somehow and this is some form of index?

"           leaf ieee-mac-address {
              type uint32;"
