Re: WGLC for BFD Multipoint documents (last round)

[Greg Mirsky <[e-mail]>]

Hi Jeff, Reshad, et. al,
I agree that the Security Considerations section will benefit from clearer
description of the need to limit resources that may be allocated for p2mp
BFD sessions on MultipointTail nodes. Perhaps we can use wording close to
Security Consideration section in RFC 7726:
   BFD sessions, naturally, use system
   and network resources.  More BFD sessions means more resources will
   be used.  It is highly important to ensure that only a minimum number
   of BFD sessions are provisioned per MultipointHead and that bootstrapped
BFD
   sessions are properly deleted when they are no longer required.

Regards,
Greg
