Re: [STDS-802-11-TGBC] Discussion on EBCS Request ANQP-element

[Mark Rison <m.rison@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Pei.  I attach my comments.

Also, this mechanism has no protection against an attacker causing
premature termination of an EBCS TS by forging an EBCS req ANQP-element
with a short Requested Time To Termination, right?

Thanks,

Mark
