Routing State Errors
State machines rely on er_NoRSM error messages to trigger recovery from some failure conditions
E.g. lost Confirm messages
However, er_NoRSM can happen in more pathological cases where the recovery described doesn’t work
E.g. peer node reboots aren’t handled right in a number of cases
Probably need to do a simple ‘clean start’ on er_NoRSM, i.e. go back to initial Query
Some discussion on security impacts
How much do we care that er_NoRSM allows a node to inventory what routing state exists
How to avoid DoS attacks (cf. TCP RST or ICMP unreach)
Depends on SID randomness
