Is that really useful to the caller? Seems more likely that > they need the outer tos and ttl for forwarding. In what we are dealing with, classification is carried after the packet is decapsulated by the shared tunnel device. So even today,e.g for the src/dst IP, the dissection is carried on what were the inner fields before decap. When we did the the flower patches for being able to classify on both the inner and outer fields (say outer src/dst ip, tunnel key) for what related to the macs/ips/ports/etc -- I don't think we touched the existing dissection, I will look on that to see if I am wrong..
