COMMENT:

Section 6.  Per “Also, as stated in [I-D.ietf-pce-association-group], much of
the information carried in the Disjointness Association object, as per this
document is not extra sensitive”, I appreciate that the language of “not extra
sensitive” comes from Section 8 of draft-ietf-pce-association-group and this
text is merely trying to reiterate this observation.  However, I would
recommend not making any assumptions about the particular environments by
stating the following:

OLD:
Also, as stated in [I-D.ietf-pce-association-group], much of the information
carried in the Disjointness Association object, as per this document is not
extra sensitive.  It often reflects information that can also be derived from
the LSP Database, but association provides a much easier grouping of related
LSPs and messages.  The disjointness association could provide an adversary
with the opportunity to eavesdrop on the relationship between the LSPs.

grouping of related LSPs and messages.  The disjointness association could
provide an adversary with the opportunity to eavesdrop on the relationship
between the LSPs and understand the network topology.
