I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's
ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the
IESG.  These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the
security area directors.  Document editors and WG chairs should treat
these comments just like any other last call comments.

Please note that I know almost nothing about BGP, MPLS or routing.

The summary of the review is

Section 3.1, para 1, sentence 2: Grammar: 'with more variety of parties' could
be 'with a larger variety of parties.'

Section 3.1, para 2, sentence 2:  'IP tunnels', does this imply IPSec?  Or
something else?

Section 3.1, para 3:  By setting up default eBGP routes, these don't count as
routes from an external entity?  The rest of the paragraph addresses the
handling of exceeding the maximum route threshold?  But there appears to be an
option to keep the BGP session?  This paragraph is confusing.

Section 3.2, paragraph 2:  IGP?  AS?  I can't tell what this is trying to say.

Section 3.2, paragraph 3:  If there is a site failure, how is the Cloud GW
'running fine'?  Is this GW using a different site?  BFD?

Section 3.2:  Para 1 states why a site might go down.  Para 2-6 outline the
routing (?) issues that occur when a site goes down. I think these could be
better organized.  Only the last para suggests mitigations.

Section 3.3 I'm not an expert, but isn't this an issue to any routing scenario?
Can this be combined with Section 3.6?

Section 3.4, para 3, item 1:  Is this a problem?  Or a feature?  If it is a
problem, can you say why?

Section 3.5:  I would suggest moving this to Section 7.  There are a couple of
mitigations listed - anti-DDOS, DTLS, IPSec, monitoring.

Section 3.6, last paragraph:  A globally unique name won't 'resolve the same
way from every perspective'?  Other than being restricted (previous paragraph),
what does this mean? If this is covered in the previous para, I would recommend
deleting the phrase.

Stopped at Section 4.
