Revised text in 3.5 as follows:
... However,
if the routing state is keyed only by (MRI, NSLP), there is a trivial
denial of service attack (see Section 8.3) where a malicious off-path
node asserts that it is the peer for a particular flow. Such an
attack would not redirect the traffic but would reroute the
signalling. Instead, the routing state is also segregated between
different SIDs, which means that the attacking node can only disrupt
a signalling session if it can guess the corresponding SID.
and in 8.3:
SID segregation: The routing state lookup for a given MRI and NSLPID
MUST also take the SID into account. A malicious node can only
overwrite existing GIST routing state if it can guess the
corresponding SID; it can insert state with random SID values, but
generally this will not be used to route signalling messages for
which state has already been legitimately established.
