As an informational document specifying methods that use only existing standards and facilities, this document has no effect on security. Having watched many TRILL documents go by in the last 4 years, we didn't push too hard on security in some cases as a result of the restriction to a campus network. This particular document extends into multi-tenancy where there are certainly security considerations introduced to be able to provide isolation properties. MPLS offers no security and it is being used to join TRILL campuses as described int his draft. This is done without any requirement of an overlay protocol to provide security - why is that the case? Minimally, the considerations need to be explained. Ideally, a solution should be offered to protect tenants when TRILL campuses are joined. _______________________________________________ trill mailing list trill@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/trill
