For the Global Administrator field, it would be really nice to specify that the IP address needs to be routeable and within what scope (area, AS, inter-AS). I think the answer is just AS. This comes up because a recommendation is to use a router's loopback address - and frequently those are deliberately not routeable outside the AS.

Apologies, I didn't really have time to read and understand this, but I got triggered by the mention of "thousands of PEs" in the intro and wonder if we think the existing security mechanisms referred to in the security considerations would scale appropriately for such cases. Am I worrying over nothing or is there maybe a bit more work (or text) needed to secure such a setup?
