As document shepherd, I just wanted to send a heads-up to the WG on the status of draft-ietf-mpls-in-udp.

The document has been submitted for publication, and has gone through security directorate and AD review. As a result of these reviews, there have been significant editorial improvements to the document. These editorial improvements do not change anything in the operation of the protocol. However, there is also a provision to mention and support possible use of DTLS [RFC6347] in addition to IPSEC (IPSEC was already mentioned) in the event that a user wants to secure the payload (ie, to protect whatever is being sent over MPLS over UDP).

We will continue with progression of the document. If anyone has strong concern with any of these changes feel free to bring these to the MPLS email list.

Thanks, Ross
