The IAB is ready to ask the RFC-Editor to publish
Multiple Encapsulation Methods Considered Harmful
draft-iab-link-encaps-02.txt
as an Informational RFC. While typically a link layer protocol
supports only a single Internet Protocol (IP) encapsulation
method, this is not always the case. Recently new link types
have been defined that support multiple encapsulation methods.
This document describes architectural and operational issues
arising from use of multiple ways of encapsulating IP packets
on the same link. Multiple encapsulation methods are not,
themselves, new -- previous considerations of the approach
are considered, as well as a review of potential issues related
to the current proposals.
The IAB solicits comments by September 27, 2006. Please send
comments to the IAB (iab@iab.org), or to ietf@ietf.org.
The document can be found at
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-link-encaps-02.txt
From the Abstract:
This document describes architectural and operational issues that
arise from link layer protocols supporting multiple Internet Protocol
encapsulation methods.
Leslie Daigle,
For the IAB.
