I
reviewed this document as part of the security
directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being
processed by
the IESG.
These comments
were written
with the intent of improving security requirements and
considerations in IETF
drafts.
Comments not
addressed in last
call may be included in AD reviews during the IESG review.
Document editors and WG
chairs should treat
these comments just like any other last call comments.
This
document is intended to clarify RFC 5584, which describes BFD
for MPLS LSPs
(try saying that quickly 5 times!).
I
didn’t find any security problems with this very brief document.
The
Security Considerations section refers to the RFC being
“clarified” and
additionally cites RFC 4379. RFC 4379 contains a reasonable
Security
Considerations section. RFC 5584 contains a 1-paragraph Security
Considerations
section that cites 4 RFCs: 5880, 5883, 4379, and 5290. RFC 5880
is the base
document for BFD, and it contains a 2-page Security
Considerations section,
although several portions of the text are out of date. RFC 5883
contains a
trivial, 1 paragraph Security Considerations section. RFC 4379
contains a
decent 1-page Security Considerations section. RFC 5290 is the
MPLS/GMPLS
Security Framework, a substantial document discussing security
for MPLS.
Considering
the
focus of this document and its 6-page length, its references to
the
Security Considerations sections of the other RFCs suffice.
