Per our AI re LC76c, Amy and I propose to: Add a new Adjuncts section 2.4 as follows: 2.4 Security Considerations Note that many of the message exchange patterns defined above describe responses to an initial message (either a normal response message or a fault.) Such responses may be used in attempts to disrupt, attack, or map a network, host, or services. When such responses are directed to an address other than that originating the initial message, the source of an attack may be obscured, or blame laid on a third party, or may enable or exacerbate denial-of-service attacks. Security mechanisms addressing such attacks may prevent the delivery of response messages to the receiving node. Conformance to the MEP is measured absent these security mechanisms.
