The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Key and Sequence Number Extensions to GRE' <draft-dommety-gre-ext-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Randy Bush and Bert Wijnen. Technical Summary This document describes extensions by which two additional fields, Key and Sequence Number, may optionally be carried in the GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation, see RFC 2784) Header. The Key field identifies an individual traffic flow within a tunnel. The Sequence Number field maintains the sequence of packets within a GRE Tunnel. Working Group Summary This is an individual submission. There was no technical comment during the IETF last call. Protocol Quality This document was reviewed for the IESG by David Meyer and Randy Bush.
