Hi Carlos,

OK with me as long as everyone that is familiar with the field understand 
why this change does not introduce new security risks.

Thanks

RE: Gen Art review of draft-ietf-softwire-lb-03



Hi Avshalom,
 
I think that the phrase you added (copied from the email body) is well 
understood form the first new sentence for someone implementing this. I 
mean, the text:
?Since this document defines a very incremental addition of a sub-TLV, ?
Is implied (and sounds repetitive) from:
?This document defines a new sub-TLV for the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation 
Attribute.?
 
So instead of us qualifying the addition with ?very incremental?, it is 
less ambiguous to quantify it with ?a new sub-TLV for the BGP Tunnel 
Encapsulation Attribute?. IOH, the first sentence re-summarizes the extent 
of the change for the context of the Security paragraph. 
 
Does this make sense?
 
Thanks,
 
-- Carlos.

Maybe like this? 

 4.  Security Considerations

+   This document defines a new sub-TLV for the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation
+   Attribute.  Security considerations for the BGP Encapsulation SAFI
+   and the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute are covered in [RFC5512].
+   Since this document defines a very incremental addition of a
+   sub-TLV, there are no additional security risks introduced by this 
design. 

Thanks

Avshalom,

Thank you for your review. As you identified, it would be useful to cite
the applicable security considerations that are documented and
inherited. I think that the following change would address your
concerns. This document defines a very incremental addition of a
sub-TLV, it would seem that further elaboration would be redundant:

4.  Security Considerations

+   This document defines a new sub-TLV for the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation
+   Attribute.  Security considerations for the BGP Encapsulation SAFI
+   and the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute are covered in [RFC5512].
   There are no additional security risks introduced by this design.

Please let us know if this addresses your concerns.

Thanks,

-- Carlos.
