23.  Privacy Considerations

   For an extended discussion about privacy considerations for the
   client, see [RFC7824]:

   *  In particular, Section 3 of [RFC7824] discusses various
      identifiers that could be misused to track the client.

   *  Section 4 of [RFC7824] discusses existing mechanisms that may have
      an impact on a client's privacy.

   *  Finally, Section 5 of [RFC7824] discusses potential attack
      vectors.

   For recommendations regarding how to address or mitigate those
   issues, see [RFC7844].

   This specification does not define any allocation strategies for
   servers.  Implementers are expected to develop their own algorithm
   for the server to choose a resource out of the available pool.
   Several possible allocation strategies are mentioned in Section 4.3
   of [RFC7824].  Please keep in mind that the list in [RFC7824] is not
   exhaustive; there are certainly other possible strategies.  Readers
   are also encouraged to read [RFC7707] -- in particular, Section 4.1.2
   of [RFC7707], which discusses the problems with certain allocation
   strategies.
