Supplementary Question
[Highlighted by a number of the security questions, but with a broader scope:]
Should we document somewhere the benefits that an implementation can get in “dense deployment” modes
Where every node can determine a priori the addresses of its signalling peers
Example: if all peers are 1 IP hop away, addresses can be determined from the IP forwarding table
Benefits include:
Downstream routing state is trivial to store
Route change detection is easier
Could use certificates in TLS to verify that a peer really is the peer at a particular IP address
Could secure against a number of on-path attacks
Preference: don’t put this in the base specification!
