Abstract:
This document describes a method for encapsulating network layer
protocols within UDP such that the payload protocol can be
identified from the destination port value. The mechanism also
allows for the source port to be used as the entropy field for the
purpose of load balancing in environments such as Equal Cost
Multipath (ECMP) in the underlying IP network.
Application of this technique is focused on tunneling network
protocol flows across IP networks in environments where load-
balancing is required. No changes to the underlying IP network or
the payload networks are required.
