[LES:] WE have referenced 
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4202.html#section-2.1 multiple times. It 
states (emphasis added):



“An unnumbered link has to be a point-to-point link.  An LSR at each

   end of an unnumbered link assigns an identifier to that link.  This

   identifier is a non-zero 32-bit number that is unique within the

   scope of the LSR that assigns it.”



I believe that addresses your concern.



>`To verify the correctness of the acquired remote identifiers, implementations

>SHOULD provide mechanisms` I am afraid that this should not be part of an

>protocol appears unspecified.

[LES:] We have stated earlier in this section:



“IGPs provide no direct way for a router to learn the identifiers assigned by 
its neighbor to the individual bundle members, since the L3 protocol does not 
operate on the bundle members. The acquisition of the exact remote identifier 
value is therefore outside the scope of this document.”



So you are right – but not sure what the concern is.

We believe “how” the identifiers are acquired is necessarily outside the scope 
of this specification.

[LES:] The last sentence of the paragraph you cited states:



“Mismatched pairs may indicate misconfiguration or incorrect

   discovery.”



To me that addresses the concern i.e., if  you don’t do this check then you not 
detect incorrect values.
