?  GSE would require the middlebox to handle it, plus changes to DNS
and modifications to transport protocols to use only the identifier
as part of the pseudoheader.




Ignoring the DNS for a moment... I think the original GSE called for 
the border routers to rewrite packets, but this could nearly as easily 
happen in a middlebox, or even in the host itself.



I guess it would be possible to do this without changing the network 
layer but I wouldn't bet on it.
