Re: [lisp] I-D Action: draft-ietf-lisp-gpe-15.txt

Hi Fabio,

thanks for the clarification. I think that I finally got it:

0x7E to 0x7F is for just experimentation.

 0xFE to 0xFF is for shim headers experimentation 

My confusion came from the fact that is not clearly stated.

Can we modify the text as:

0x7E to 0x7F:  Experimentation and testing	
0x80 to 0xFD:  Unassigned (shim headers)	
0xFE to 0xFF:  Experimentation and testing (shim headers)

So that the difference  is clearly stated.

Ciao

L.

A third person might want to experiment, at the same time, with a shim header that carries special metadata for IPv8.
