Precedence: list

The -13 version of the GRE/UDP draft corrects a few nits found in -12.

I have just submitted the RFC publication request for this draft (finally!).
Shepherd writeup is here:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tsvwg-gre-in-udp-encap/shepherdwriteup/

Congrats to the authors and thanks to everyone else who helped get this draft to
this stage.  In particular, I want to thank the authors for their patience with the
amount of time and effort involved.

I think we have a good outcome, and the RFC that results from this draft is likely to
be referred to as an important worked example (along with RFC 7510) for future
UDP encapsulations.

Thanks, --David

> Abstract:
>    This document specifies a method of encapsulating network protocol
>    packet within GRE and UDP headers. This GRE-in-UDP encapsulation
>    allows the UDP source port field to be used as an entropy field.
>    This may be used for load balancing of GRE traffic in transit
>    networks using existing ECMP mechanisms. This document also
>    specifies GRE-in-UDP tunnel requirements for two applicability
>    scenarios: (1) general Internet; (2) a traffic-managed controlled
>    environment. The controlled environment has less restrictive
>    requirements than the general Internet.
