Thomas: I agree that as you get closer to the server, the security is likely to improve, but are you willing to allow this to be the default? How can we be sure that these parts of the network are secured? My feeling is that we should never allow (by default) security to INCREASE. If you do, you are giving a false sense of security. I used SHOULD NOT because that should be the default behavior. Sure, it is fine to allow the relay agent to be configurable to allow this but it should not be the default. - Bernie -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Narten [mailto:narten@us.ibm.com] Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 12:21 PM To: Bernie Volz (EUD) Cc: 'Ralph Droms'; dhcwg@ietf.org Subject: Re: [dhcwg] RE: I-D ACTION:draft-droms-dhcp-relay-agent-ipsec-00.txt > Yes, that was the text I was referring to.

So if you have three DHC "hops" in your path, but one of them is unprotected, it makes no sense to protect the other two ? That doesn't follow at all. The threats one is concerned about may vary on each "hop". It may well make sense to protect the hop(s) that traverse paths where one is particularly worried about threats, while not being as worried about certain other hop on the overal path. Right? Thomas
