SECDIR
review of draft-ietf-ospf-manet-single-hop-or-03
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 primarily for the benefit of
the security
area directors.
Document editors, WG chairs and ADs
should treat
these
comments just like any other last call comments.
As per the
Abstract, this document
describes use of the OSPF-MANET interface in single-hop
broadcast networks. It
is targeted as an Experimental RFC. It is a very brief I-D, only
8 pages. It
updates RFC 5820 (
Extensions to OSPF to Support MANETs) to describe use
of the MANET
interface in
single-hop
broadcast
networks, consistent with the abstract.
The Security
Considerations section contains only one sentence, stating that
there are no
new security considerations beyond those expressed in RFC 5820.
Since this is
an update to that RFC, this text makes sense. RFC
5820 contains a two-page
Security
Considerations section. Much of the text from that section is
taken from RFC
5614 (
MANET
Extension of OSPF). The
Security
Considerations
text in 5820 is well written and is intended to address a
broader range of MANET contexts that the single-hop broadcast
networks address
here. Thus citing that text in this document seems adequate.
