I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing
effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.  These
comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors.
 Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other
last call comments.

Summary: Ready

This standards track draft describes a mechanism for establishing an Ethernet
tunnel over IPv6 using L2TPv3 encapsulation. IPv6 is ideal since unique IP
addresses can be used to when establishing a L2TPv3 session. This can allow for
an optimization, over current multiplexing approaches, where consulting the
L2TPv3 session ID is not needed if each tunnel is assigned a unique IPv6
address.

I found that the draft clearly articulates the problem that is solved. The
security considerations seem to be appropriate for the draft. This draft
appears to be ready for publication.

Regards,
Dave Waltermire
