Re: I-D: Simple Configured Tunnel Setup Procedure

[Marc Blanchet <Marc.Blanchet@hexago.com>]

my reading is that:
- good idea.
- if you go more into the details which makes a complete solution, you will
end up redoing either tunnel broker or tunnel broker with TSP.
- TSP automates the creation of tunnels with no complexity or overhead. and
it manages the delegation of prefixes, the mobility of the v4 side (i.e.
change of v4 address), can be part of a boot sequence of a node or router,
etc... 
- basically, you need a signaling protocol of some sort to help the two
parties involved to setup the tunnel (and the various additional needed
info, such as prefix allocation, ...)
