Hi Greg,

I would go with normative SHOULD. What you proposed below is fine.

Regards,
Reshad.

Hi Reshad,

you've said:

Hi Greg,



While OOB mechanism would improve security, my personal opinion is that we 
should try to improve security without requiring an OOB mechanism. I think we 
can add text to the security considerations to address the concerns below, e.g. 
A tail SHOULD prevent the number of MultipointTail sessions from exceeding the 
number of expected streams.  The concern expressed in b) cannot be fixed by 
what I proposed because of multiple streams.  So just preventing the number of 
MultipointTail sessions from exceeding the number of expected streams should be 
good enough.



Regards,

Reshad.



If we make it normative SHOULD, i.e. s/should/SHOULD/ in the third 
recommendation to the implementers:

     The implementation SHOULD have a reasonable upper bound on the

      number of MultipointTail sessions that can be created, with the

      upper bound potentially being computed based on the number of

      multicast streams that the system is expecting.



Or keep the lower case as it is consistent with the rest of the section, e.g. 
'a MultipointTail session should not be created'?



Kind regards,

Greg Mirsky
