Warren Kumari has entered the following ballot position for draft-ietf-intarea-broadcast-consider-08: No Objection When responding, please keep the subject line intact and reply to all email addresses included in the To and CC lines. (Feel free to cut this introductory paragraph, however.) Please refer to https://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/discuss-criteria.html for more information about IESG DISCUSS and COMMENT positions. The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-intarea-broadcast-consider/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I found this sentence very confusing: " For one, non-standard protocols will likely not receive operational attention and support in making them more secure such as e.g. DHCP snooping does for DHCP because they typically are not documented. " -- I know what it is trying to say, but I don't think it accomplishes what it intends to. [ This was originally a DISCUSS, emails with authors have addressed my concerns. Old text below for posterity]: "Sorry for the late DISCUSS. I'm likely to clear after discussions on the call tomorrow. I'm somewhat surprised at how much this document glosses over the (sometimes extensive) broadcast/multicast twiddling that Access Points and similar do (a fair bit of discussion of which can be found in draft-perkins-intarea-multicast-ieee802 (which I think will be expiring) or draft-mcbride-mboned-wifi-mcast-problem-statement). Simply saying: "A feature not uncommonly found on access points e.g. is to filter broadcast and multicast traffic. This will potentially break certain applications or some of their functionality but will also protect the users from potentially leaking sensitive information." seems to be shrugging off all of the privacy benefits (or possibly harms) that this might create.
