Hi, 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. The Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) specification defines a generic Distance Vector protocol that is adapted to a variety of networks types by the application of specific Objective Functions. An Objective Function defines how a RPL node selects and optimizes routes within a RPL Instance based on the information objects available. This document specifies a basic Objective Function that relies only on the objects that are defined in RPL and does not use any extension. The security considerations section references the same I.D. twice: described in [I-D.ietf-roll-rpl] and [I-D.ietf-roll-rpl]. This I suspect that the second instance is a typo and instead it should refer to a different specification? Beyond that, I see no security issues with this document. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 derek at ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant
