Re: [manet] I-D Action: draft-ietf-manet-dlep-27.txt

Hi,

I am a bit worried about the "secure" flag being pulled into the main
RFC... security comes in different "flavors", which could be an
excellent point in writing a DLEP extension where the radio informs
the router about the security concerns (per radio channel, per client,
...) and maybe even gives the router an information how to send
secured/unsecured frames.

Just a single bit is not really that helpful.

If we need more revisions for DLEP we should work on making them
leaner, not heavier.
