Last Call Review of draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-stp-04
review-ietf-pwe3-iccp-stp-04-secdir-lc-emery-2015-09-24-00

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.

This draft specifies a Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) application for the
Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP).

The security considerations section does exist and refers to the base ICCP
specification, RFC 7275, for applicability.  7275 lists the security
constraints and limitations sufficiently when considering the reviewed draft.
The section goes on to describe potential DoS attacks as described in 7275
and provides a single example to mitigate such an attack.  Even though this
coverage is fairly sparse, 7275 outlines a more comprehensive list of thwarting
potential threats.
