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. This is a BEEP extension to enable asynchrony. The security considerations section highlights the DOS potential from state accumulation, and I don't think anything more needs to be said. I see no security problems with the document. Process/quality of review: The template for the doc says it was reviewed on the BEEP WG list, but the document doesn't suggest taking discussion there. And BEEP closed in 2002. Typo in section 3.1: s/separate/separated/ I also noticed that there's no list of contributors nor any acknowledgements. Might some be appropriate? -- Sam
