Subject: [bess] draft-ietf-bess-bgp-sdwan-usage needs a new Tunnel-Type = SDWAN-Hybrid, Is it necessary to discuss the new Tunnel-Type in IDR WG?

Matthew, Stephane, and BESS experts,

It is not too clear to me the demarcation of BGP protocol extension between BESS WG and IDR WG.

draft-ietf-bess-bgp-sdwan-usage needs a new Tunnel-Type = SDWAN-Hybrid. Can BESS drafts apply for a new Tunnel Type from IANA? Or needs an IDR draft to be discussed in IDR WG to get one?
What is the right procedure? Your guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.
