"Link Adaptation for IPv6-in-IPv4 Tunnels" as WG item?

["Templin, Fred L" <Fred.L.Templin@boeing.com>]

Hello Fred and Kurt,

On 8/17/05, I announced a new I-D on the v6ops list which (IMHO)
identifies operational issues and proposes improvements for tunnel
path mtu determination. Some on-list discussion followed.

I would like to now ask whether this work can be taken as a
v6ops WG item, given that it addresses operational aspects
of mechanisms associated with the wg?

A new draft of possible interest to v6ops is available
that anticipates MTU-related performance issues for
tunnels and proposes a solution. Document location
and abstract appear below. Comments?

Abstract
   IPv6-in-IPv4 tunneling mechanisms support the minimum IPv6 MTU of
   1280 bytes via static prearrangements at the tunnel encapsulator
   and/or dynamic MTU determination based on ICMPv4 messages, but these
   methods have known operational limitations.  This document proposes a
   new MTU determination mechanism for IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnels that uses a
   link adaptation scheme with simplified IPv4 segmentation/reassembly
   and dynamic segment size probing.
