Any on-link attacker can already deplete your batteries without using OCF 
(e.g., via ARP or IPv6 Neighbor Discovery), OCF doesn’t change that.

Subject: [dev] DoS defences?

Naive question from a non-sec guy: how does the OCF security model deal with 
DoS attacks? For example what if an attacker just sends tons of discovery 
requests in order to deplete your batteries?
