In your previous mail you wrote: discussions during the ietf meeting (see issue tracker web page) concluded that it is a policy issue when to perform the return routability checks. this conclusion seems to be fine with me. i will try to produce a new text proposal. => this is my position but there is an exception: the update is to an authorized* address but from an unknown address. A RR check should be performed in this case, not because of a security issue, but because the node can have just moved behind a NAT (the RR check for the authorized address fails, the RR check for the unknown (in fact NATed) address succeeds). *I use the term "authorized" in order to keep the policy decision to the peer, i.e., the RR check can be a part of the authorization procedure.
