The below referenced draft was composed in response to a problem
encountered in the mboned working group. There is a proposal there that
allows for the encapsulation of multicast traffic within a unicast tunnel in
order to traverse unicast-only networks. This draft proposes to ease the
rule on checksums in IPv6 UDP packets. I have asked that discussion of this
draft occur on the 6MAN mailing list.
In case anyone is interested in more of the background material, the
draft requiring this change is draft-ietf-mboned-auto-multicast-09.txt.
Since March, there has been no public discussion of this. (I'll note
that in April Gorry Fairhurst submitted an alternative,
draft-fairhurst-6man-tsvwg-udptt-00, but AFAIK this has not been
discussed anywhere).
I wonder if there been progress off-list, or if progress is expected?

We address the problem of computing the UDP checksum on tunneling
IPv6 packets when using lightweight tunneling protocols.
