I've submitted a revision of the I-D below, and would be keen to see
some discussion on this list as to whether this could solve the
perceived problem that some tunnel protocols do not wish to employ the
UDP checksum as specified in RFC 2460.
I would like to present this short draft in Stockholm, but would
appreciate feedback before the meeting from anyone with comments or
thoughts on this topic.
Best wishes,

The UDP Tunnel Transport mode

Abstract:
This document proposes a standards track protocol called the UDP
Tunnel Transport. This protocol updates the UDP processing of RFC
2460 for hosts and routers. The update enables a sender to generate
a UDP datagram where the UDP checksum is replaced by a header check
determined only by the protocol header information. For this use,
the document also updates the way the IPv6 UDP length field is
interpreted. This mode is intended to minimise the processing cost
for the transport of tunnel packets using UDP.
