Hi Ole, 

Thanks for your comment. 

It is expected that the identifiers defined in this draft will be parsed or processed by some network nodes along the path, rather than only the endpoints, thus maybe it is more convenient to carry them in the IPv6 header. This could also reduce the overhead of introducing other tunnel layers to the IPv6 network. 

Best regards,
Jie
