It would be better to do -09. If I had known comments were coming from you I would have waited to put in Albert’s text. What I did in -09 is simply cut-and-paste his text.

I won’t make any other changes until I see your comments.

Failing to perform this check can cause the Time to Live of the inner header to increment across encapsulation/decapsulation cycles.  This check is also performed when doing initial encapsulation, when a packet comes to an ITR or PITR destined for a LISP site.

If the 'ECN' field contains a congestion indication codepoint (the value is '11', the Congestion Experienced (CE) codepoint), then ETR decapsulation MUST copy the 2-bit 'ECN' field from the stripped outer header to the surviving inner header that is used to forward the packet beyond the ETR.  These requirements preserve CE indications when a packet that uses ECN traverses a LISP tunnel and becomes marked with a CE indication due to congestion between the tunnel endpoints.
