Hi All,

Holiday season is over, maybe time to progress the discussion about DC security 
properties.

Any constructive comments regarding the below "crude guess as a straw" from 
Randy?

Brgds,

Subject: [Lsvr] security against what?

at the montréal meeting, a few datacener operators said they were seriously 
concerned about security.  befofe thinking about any solution space, i am 
interested in the basic question, what is the threat model?

here is my crude guess as a straw

    not so much intentional mitm by an attacker

    strange/unauthorized device plugs into a port.  92.3% of the problems
    will be a miswire.  datacenter clos miswires are a major issue.

    someone plugs a (accidentally) poisoned laptop into a clos port.

clue bat from the ops, please.

randy
