Hi Quan,

We already have this text ->

Note that the [RFC8231] recommends that the stateful PCEP
   extension are authenticated and encrypted using Transport Layer
   Security (TLS) [RFC8253], as per the recommendations and best current
   practices in [RFC7525].


Thus I suggested adding one more sentence at the end of this ->


Thus the flags in the LSP-EXTENDED-FLAG TLV are also protected by the
above mechanisms and recommendations.


That change should help with clarity as pointed by Paul.


--


Also, please make this change ->


OLD:

The documents which will specific these flags must discuss
   their associate security implications.

NEW:

Any future document that specifies new flags must also

discuss any associated security implications.



Thanks!

Dhruv
