The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bfd-multipoint-active-tail/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I had the same question that Ben poses in his DISCUSS, and support untangling the question before continuing progression of the document. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've dug around some of the BFD documents but can't quite figure out how the tail knows which address to use when responding to a multipoint poll query. The reason I went looking is: if the head has some means of indicating to the tails where such responses should be sent, then it has the ability to coordinate a massive DDoS attack on a selected victim address. Is this possible?
