Hi Greg,

 

As I said in my review: if the authors have verified that the security considerations in the Framework document provide good coverage of the use cases that you describe here then Yes.

 

I am not an MPLS expert and certainly not an MPLS security expert, so I cannot contribute much towards this analysis.

 

Thanks,

                Yaron

Hi Yaron,

thank you for your comments and suggestion adding the reference. Would the following address your concern:

NEW TEXT:

6.  Security Considerations

 

   This document introduces no new security considerations beyond those

   outlined in Section 7 of [I-D.ietf-mpls-mna-fwk].

 

Regards,

Greg

This document reviews multiple use cases for a new extension to MPLS, Network
Action Indicators.

The entirety of the Security Considerations section reads:

This document introduces no new security considerations.

I am not convinced, and I think an explanation is needed on why MNA are more or
less susceptible to attacks than the way these use cases are signaled today.
That *could* lead to discussion of new security controls.

Specifically I would recommend to address the more difficult migration and
coexistence scenarios listed in Sections 3 and 4.

In fact, even a reference to
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-mpls-mna-fwk-10.html#name-security-considerations
may do the job, assuming the authors believe the Security Considerations over
in that document cover the use cases listed here.
