Hello grow chairs,

Any chance we can get a wglc started on this draft after this latest round of 
edits? The authors have felt it's ready for quite some time. It's going on four 
years now. Please consider.

Thanks,
mike

Hi Martin,

I just submitted a new version to address your (and Alejandro's) comments. See 
my comments in line (MM):

Hi,

Some comments
-------------

Section 3.1 and 4:
As has been mentioned before on this list, I think using the term "route leak" 
in this scenario is confusing. Something like "suboptimal" or "unintended" 
routing would be a better fit.

MM: Done. Used both terms in place of route leak.

3.2 and 3.3:
These do not appear to be separate problems, but rather two examples of the 
same problem (a malicious, shorter route being preferred over a legitimate, 
prepended route).

MM: I think it is ok to describe two similar problems.

7:
This only mentions the sending side. There is also security advice to be given 
to the accepting side (see section 3.5 and 3.6). Something like "Accepting 
routes with extremely long AS_PATHs may cause increased memory usage and 
possibly router crashes."

MM: I inserted exactly that sentence.

A reference to ASPA may also be useful in this section, since this could help 
mitigate the effects of the route leaks described in 3.2 and 3.3.

MM: Good idea, I added a sentence on ASPA.

Text nits
---------

Thank you! I also added you and Alejandro to the acknowledgements.
Mike



Kind regards,
Martin
