Document: draft-ietf-rtgwg-vrrp-p2mp-bfd
Title: Applicability of Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for
Multi-point Networks in Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) Reviewer:
Alexey Melnikov Review result: Ready

I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing
effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.  These
comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors.
Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other
last call comments.

I've done an earlier review of -08 and I thought it was ready back then.
The document has changed, but I think addition of operational issues is an
improvement. The document is short and well-written. The security
considerations section is also short and redirect readers to referenced
documents: [RFC9568], [RFC5880], [RFC5881], and [RFC8562]. I agree that this is
an appropriate list of documents to consult when reviewing security of the
overall system.
