Re: I-D: Simple Configured Tunnel Setup Procedure

[Pekka Savola <pekkas@netcore.fi>]

Hi again,

After sleeping on the idea, I extended it a bit to include a 
limited form of NAT traversal, and beefed it up otherwise as well 
(e.g., by including an "out of scope for this draft" subsection).

Available at:

http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/ietf/draft-savola-v6ops-conftun-setup-01.txt

Comments, etc. are of course still welcome :-)

Thanks to Suresh for a nice name and the acronym! :-)
