Was just looking at draft-touch-intarea-tunnels-00.txt

The section on "Packing (ala GigE bursting)" in this draft is a bit strange.
Although this is under a section listing known "issues" with
tunnels/fragmentation, it is not clear what the authors think about
it.
It is almost written as if the authors believe that tunnel packing is
a "good thing", is that true or am I mis-interpretatiing?

Thanks
George
