This document analyzes security threats to Simplified Multicast
Forwarding (SMF), including vulnerabilities of duplicate packet
detection and relay set selection mechanisms.  This document is not
intended to propose solutions to the threats described.

In addition, this document updates RFC 7186 regarding threats to the
relay set selection mechanisms using the Mobile Ad Hoc Network
(MANET) Neighborhood Discovery Protocol (NHDP) (RFC 6130).

This document is a product of the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks Working Group of the IETF.
