Dear Working Group,

We have received a request for an early allocation of the IPv6 VTN option specified in:
draft-ietf-6man-enhanced-vpn-vtn-id-04.txt

Conditions for early allocation is outlined in RFC7120.

Note specifically this:
   c. The specifications of these code points must be stable; i.e., if
  there is a change, implementations based on the earlier and later
  specifications must be seamlessly interoperable.

An early allocation will freeze the option format.
Would you mind reviewing the document and especially the option definition and chime in if you think changes are required prior to allocating a code point.

For the chairs,
Ole
