A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : OSPF LSA sequence number generation Authors : Manjul Khandelwal Ramakrishna Rao TV Desetti Filename : draft-manjuldtv-ospf-sequence-number-00.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2016-05-09 Abstract: The mechanism for LS sequence number generation as specified in RFC 2328 and RFC 5340 is completely predictable. This makes it prone to certain security attacks which exploit the predictable nature of LS sequence numbers. This draft updates the RFC 2328 to make LS sequence number generation an implementation choice rather than a fixed increment by 1 for successive LSAs.
