[Outages-discussion] [outages] DHCP being dropped by Lumen?

[Jared Mauch]

Yes one needs to be careful what the IPTF is doing as they have nearly an entire set of areas dedicated to privacy and making managing networks harder. 

The privacy area (sometimes confused with security, which is unrelated) is focused on only short lived transactions and not securing anything long term like routing protocols. You should expect only fixes for things that look or fit in HTTP or can be encoded easily to JSON.

It's disappointing how that's been hijacked when real availability issues like UDP based attacks that require the blocking of protocols that do amplification are not addressed and can't get any assistance from security experts vs the privacy types.

Not sure if either of these apply in this context, however I suspect you’ll be surprised to learn what privacy advocates consider sensitive.
