I have 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 primarily for the benefit of the
security area directors.  Document editors and WG chairs should treat
these comments just like any other last call comments.

The draft is ready for publication.

Summary:
I do not see any security concerns raised by this draft.  The draft specifies
benchmarking methods including report formats and metrics to consistently
benchmark MPLS protection mechanisms.  The draft does not specify the
protection mechanisms.  The security considerations section limits the
recommended tests to closed environments, further limiting any possible
security concerns.

Best regards,
Kathleen
