Re: [DNA] QUESTION: Remove Link Down information indraft-ietf-dna-link-information-03

[James Kempf <kempf@docomolabs-usa.com>]

I'm fine with this. The history of Link Down in IETF is that nobody has ever 
figured out a way to allow it to be done securely. I hope that we can record 
this somewhere (maybe an RFC "Link Down Considered Harmful"? from the IAB) 
so people stop wasting time on it.
