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 informational and about requirements and a framework
for Point-to-Multipoint Pseudowire (PW) over MPLS Packet Switched
Networks.
Th
e
document appears ready for publication.
A couple of comments:
1. Even though this document is only about requirements, it
uses in a couple of places 2119 language.
In principle that could even been seen as improving
"readability", however, I am not sure whether that is
appropriate usage for a requirement document, as 2119 is
intended to signal conformance with a specification (which
this ID is not).
2. The security consideration
section is basically empty, only referring to RFC3916 and
P2P PW. Considering that this is only a requirements
document, this can be sufficient.
(Note: it could have been nice to think about whether or how
a move from P2P to P2MP PW might change or require
additional security requirements for the specification.
However, as this is only the requirements document and not
the specification, this question can also be answered in the
following spec.)
3. Nits:
section 5 security considerations:
should have a reference for "initial P2P PW definition"
Thank you and best regards.
