Received changes through RFC Editor sync (created alias RFC 8086, changed abstract to 'This document specifies a method of encapsulating network protocol packets within GRE and UDP headers.  This GRE-in-UDP encapsulation allows the UDP source port field to be used as an entropy field.  This may be used for load-balancing of GRE traffic in transit networks using existing Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) mechanisms.  There are two applicability scenarios for GRE-in-UDP with different requirements: (1) general Internet and (2) a traffic-managed controlled environment.  The controlled environment has less restrictive requirements than the general Internet.', changed pages to 27, changed standardization level to Proposed Standard, changed state to RFC, added RFC published event at 2017-03-07, changed IESG state to RFC Published)
