Hi Robert,

> Actually to be fare on this one I have to agree with John.
I think you meant "fair" as opposed to "fare", although I'll be happy to collect
the latter from you ... or your spell-checker :-).

> 10 authors and 16 pages to define a GRE key is an amazing achievement.

I referenced both drafts for context, and I'm not going to argue with that
"major achievement" characterization.  Both drafts are -00 versions that will
need more work to fill in details.  The reason to look at those drafts now
is that they provide additional insight into the problem space, which may
help illuminate why a "just use a VPN" approach doesn't solve all the problems
of interest.

Thanks,
--David

Actually to be fare on this one I have to agree with John.

10 authors and 16 pages to define a GRE key is an amazing achievement.

Especially since GRE header with MPLS label behind it is used
effectively for many years now to achieve the same level of
virtualization in number of shipping applications.
