DISCUSS: Replay of JoinReq and LeaveReq #5

Closed deanwillis closed 11 years ago

deanwillis commented 11 years ago

Relative to -23: Stephen Farrell asks: section 6.4.2.1: What prevents/detects replay of JoinReq messages? If replay worked, then I could cause lots of havoc since the responding peer will do a bunch of Stores and (8) section 6.4.2.2: What prevents/detects replay of LeaveReq messages? Seems like an obvious DoS if possible.

November 14: I met with Cullen and EKR today on this.

The document DOES have text for JoinReq. I wlll review the document for other incidental mentions of routing of LeaveReq and JoinReq and if I find any, will take steps to fix them. If you are aware of any such text, please point it out to me.

Dean needs to figure out where pull request went

The existing text seems to be adequate. Both JoinReq and LeaveReq have discussions of replay prevention, and there are no spurious mentions noted. I suggest we just close this issue.
