Reviewer: Shawn M. Emery
Review result: Ready with nits

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.

This is a review of the changes since my original review of the 07 draft.
Most of my comments have been addressed, thank you.  The remaining
questions were:

1. Relating to privacy:
I believe that this section [security considerations] should also document
the security impact of deploying BFD on VXLANs for monitoring tunnel
traffic.
Which additional information, if any, can now be obtained with BFD usage?

2. Editorial:
Echo BFD is out of scope for the document, but does not describe the
reason for this or why state this at all?

They were discussed in the thread of the review but I don't know why the
draft was not updated with this information.

Shawn.
