The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'The Subnetwork Encapsulation and Adaptation Layer (SEAL)' <draft-templin-intarea-seal-51.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-02-20. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract For the purpose of this document, a subnetwork is defined as a virtual topology configured over a connected IP network routing region and bounded by encapsulating border nodes. These virtual topologies are manifested by tunnels that may span multiple IP and/or sub-IP layer forwarding hops, where they may incur packet duplication, packet reordering, source address spoofing and traversal of links with diverse Maximum Transmission Units (MTUs). This document specifies a Subnetwork Encapsulation and Adaptation Layer (SEAL) that addresses these issues. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-templin-intarea-seal/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-templin-intarea-seal/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
