Thanks for the feedback Thomas! Responses inline.

However, if a deployment has specific properties, one could configure this per-interface: a router could require DTLS over the Wi-Fi interface but allow non-DTLS on the secure VPN interface. That would allow cleartext speakers over VPN into the DTLS-secured enclave, but that should only be used by someone who wants that property. I've added a subsection. > You should probably provide some guidance about the kind of > credentials do you plan to use (certs, raw pkeys)? > We actually don't currently have guidance to give, as it might depend on the use-case. For example, there will be a document specifying how HOMENET uses Babel over DTLS, and I suspect that document will provide very specific guidance on what credentials to use and how they are provisioned. > It seems to me that the P2P nature of the protocol requires mutual > authentication, could you confirm it?

Since Babel datagrams are comprised of a sequence of TLVs, it's best to fragment at the Babel layer because that way a single fragment is still parseable in the presence of packet loss. I added text to clarify this.
