Thanks for the follow up Ben. So I think your concern has been addressed by
other changes in the document.
Though I am not saying I do not introduced other nits of the same kind, I
checked throughout the document
and I believe any time web interface is mentioned it is currenlty clear it
does not belong to the network admin.

Maybe some english native co-authors could do a last proof-reading of the
document to remove these sort of nits.
the cuurent version is at:


The current text is:

"""
The analysis from the
orchestrator is reported to the network administrator via a web
interface. If the network administrator decides to start the
mitigation, the network administrator triggers the DDoS mitigation
request using the web interface of a DOTS client communicating to the
orchestrator DOTS server. This request is expected to be associated with
a context that provides sufficient information to the orchestrator DOTS
server to infer the DDoS Mitigation to elaborate and coordinate.
"""

Yours,
Daniel
