Re: [nvo3] Review of draft-dt-nvo3-encap-01

[Tom Herbert <[e-mail]>]

- The combinatorics of TLVs and sequential processing requirements are
hard to make efficient in both software and hardware implementations.
Bit-fields do not have this problem

DT:  This is not true according to the HW vendors presented in the  design team.

So the long standing known complexities of sequential TLV parsing,
combinatoric ordering, random access, DOS threats, parser buffer
sizes, dealing with loop free parsing mechanisms like P4 that have
plagued other TLV implementations like IP options IPv6 EH and other
protocols in IETF is now a solved problem? That's awesome!!! But can
you please provide the ***details*** why this is now considered a
solved problem for both software *and* hardware.
