Re: Review comments on draft-ietf-shim6-proto-03.txt



I'm not sure what the "costs" are in this statement. Are we just saying that we're balancing the processing time to figure out that we no longer have to encapsulate against the encapsulation overhead? or are you thinking of something else?

  For what it's worth, I don't think that this belongs within the protocol. The protocol should make it possible (maybe via a negotiation), but the decision needs to be left to the hosts (and their parameters/options). They might want it in some cases and in some cases not. It depends on the 'costs' associated with the ULID pairs.
