No, I am saying that these and others are compatible with SEAL. The SEAL header has a "next header" field exactly like an IPv6 extension header, and that next header could be IPsec, GRE, etc. Used in this way, the SEAL header has the same footprint as an IPv6 fragmentation header. That said, SEAL could be used in place of other tunnel types like GRE and IPv6/IPv6. How they all fit together is something we should discuss either here or in intarea. > Are we all *really* okay with just trashing ESP > and GRE like that? Maybe we should be moving to deprecate those too? Not what I am suggesting. SEAL+GRE, SEAL+IPsec-ESP, etc. all work just fine.
