Re: [manet] Combined Gen-art and secdir LC review: draft-ietf-manet-smc-sec-threats-05

[Thomas Clausen <ietf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Robert, all,

Thank you for this review. Much appreciated. As I understand it, there are no major issues to address?

If it is alright with you (& with our AD), We propose to fold the "nits" (as you call them) that you found in with a couple of "nits" raised by Alvaro already, and with whatever else the ongoing LC raises, and spin a revision capturing it all when the LC is closed?

Thanks again for your help,

Thomas

Summary: Ready for publication as an Informational RFC

This draft provides a discussion of vulnerabilities in Simplified Multicast
Forwarding (SMF), focusing on attacking the Duplicate Packet Detection and
Relay Set Selection mechanisms. It positions itself as being useful information
for those deploying SMF as currently defined.  It does not propose mitigations,
but does have a section that identifies potential future work that might.

I have sent several editorial nits directly to the authors.
