I don't. But the mapping service still need to be secure to thwart DoS attacks. (and it's a lot easier to get away with DoS attacks if you can make them surgical - i.e. if you can make them apply only to a very limited target without effecting anyone else) Keith _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
