RE: Multiprotocol tunneling over UDP using AERO

Hi,

One other thing that may or may not be worth mentioning is that AERO already has an
IANA-assigned UDP port number:

aero               8060        udp    Asymmetric Extended Route    [IESG]                                                [IETF_Chair]                                                                        [RFC6706]
                                      Optimization (AERO)

Thanks - Fred
