Subject: Encapsulation protocol

What protocol is being used to encapsulate PIP over IPv4?  If no
protocol has been chosen yet, I would strongly suggest use of protocol
4, which is just a direct encapsulation of the entire IPgram inside IP
itself.  The reason is that this is already being used to encapsulate
IP multigrams inside unicast IP; this makes it possible to leverage
existing code.  (Also, I've written a network interface driver which
implements this protocol, for use by both multicast and unicast values
of IP.)
