Kathleen Moriarty has entered the following ballot position for draft-ietf-mpls-entropy-lsp-ping-04: Discuss 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-mpls-entropy-lsp-ping/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCUSS: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The description of what is added in this draft in the Security Considerations section is good, but aren't there additional security considerations (risks) with this addition? This document extends the LSP Ping and Traceroute mechanisms to discover and exercise ECMP paths when an LSP uses ELI/EL in the label stack. Additional processing is required for responder and initiator nodes. The responder node that pushes ELI/EL will need to compute and return multipath data including associated EL. The initiator node will need to store and handle both IP multipath and label multipath information, and include destination IP addresses and/or ELs in MPLS echo request packets as well as in multipath information sent to downstream nodes. BTW, the above is a nice description that would have been nice to see sooner in the text. The draft then says: This document does not itself introduce any new security considerations. Isn't there anything that should be said about risks with the extended capabilities to discover and exercise ECMP paths? Does this help network reconnaissance? Does it help attackers to have this additional information? If it doesn't, please explain why and that will clear up this discuss or adding text would be good. Thanks.
