Section 9

Is there any possibility of a situation where the invalid-/added/modified-entry notifications cause a substantial amount of notification traffic (i.e., a DoS level of traffic)?

boucadair commented 5 years ago

Added some text among those lines:

This is in theory possible if the BR is under the control of a non-authorized/misbehaving entity. The DDoS can be softened by defining a notification interval, but given that this interval parameter can be disabled or set to a low value by the misbehaving entity, the same problem will be observed.
