1) Sec 3.7: This section describes BFD Fault Isolation.  It isn't clear to me that the S-BFD base spec has addressed this case at all.  More clarification would be nice - either indicating that this use-case wasn't handled or having a small pointer to how it was.

Shouldn't Requirement #10 explicitly state active and passive attacks?  That way you cover interception and passive listening too.

While this document has a security requirement, I believe there is also a risk of misconfiguration: if no handshake is performed, a node might send S-BFD packets to a receiver that does not exists or is not aware of it or sits at a different part of the network that is somewhere else than expected which can overload the network accidentally. Should this be mentioned in this doc (or somewhere else... or both)?
