2. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1147r1 Submission November 2009 David Halasz, AclaraSlide 2 Abstract The path selection protocol has similar security concerns of path messages in AODV. Since the path selection messages use Multihop Action frames, the Multihop Action frames should be protected with IEEE 802.11w mechanisms. This will protect path messages on a link- to-link basis and not end-to-end. As of 802.11s draft 3.04, this presentation has already been addressed with the exception of updating the PICS.
