Both HNCP and Babel use IPv6 for carrying control data. There's no way an IPv4 packet can be received by them (barring bugs, of course). See also REQ1 in this draft. > 2) Again I need to read the rest of the draft, but does this mean > that anyone on that link of the homenet can inject these messages > without any authentication, On the trusted link, yes. > and if so why is that ok? This draft takes no stand on whether it is okay or not, it merely states the current security situation. Defining cryptographic authentication mechanisms for the Homenet stack is out of scope for this draft. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
