Re: [manet] AD review of draft-ietf-manet-nhdp-optimization

Dear AD,

Thank you for having processed this document.

With regards to security, I think that the operative word in what you observe is “slight” ;) 

AFAIK, Chris is currently off the grid for a bit, but he should be back in a few days. My personal point of view, which made me not suggest text to this effect, was, that while it is true that it offers a bit more resilience, that in and by itself was "not enough” to be a security property that might affect the use (or not) of this extension. I can swing either way on this, though.

Glad that you are sending this document forward while we think about it.

Respectfully,

Thomas
