Hi,

A discussion with Marc Petit-Huguenin brings up the issue of "naked
Ping" described in section 10.4 of the base draft:

   If no cached bootstrap nodes are available and the configuration file
   has an multicast-bootstrap element, then the node SHOULD send a Ping
   request over UDP to the address and port found to each multicast-
   bootstrap element found in the configuration document.  This MAY be a
   multicast, broadcast, or anycast address.  The Ping should use the
   wildcard Node-ID as the destination Node-ID.

It should be clarified that this Ping message, wrapped the Frame Header
is sent via UDP without DTLS, thus the term naked Ping. Further
implication is that a RELOAD application that supports UDP must
multiplex among three protocols: STUN, DTLS and framed_naked_Ping.

Marc also raised the issue of anycast, and I'll let him jump in from
here.

Thanks

Michael Chen
