Routing protocols are subject to attacks that can harm individual
users or the network operations as a whole.  The lack of a common set
of security requirements has led to the use in existing routing
protocol of a variety of different security solutions, which provide
various levels of security coverage.
The RPSEC working group intends to deliver in a separate document a
set of security requirements for consideration of routing protocol
designers.  The first step in developing the security requirements is
to analyze the threats that face routing protocols.  This document
describes the threats, including threat sources and capabilities,
threat actions, and threat consequences as well as a breakdown of
routing functions that might be separately attacked.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
