A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : OSPFv3 Destination Address Filter
Author(s) : A. Lindem
Filename : draft-lindem-ospfv3-dest-filter-00.txt
Pages : 5
Date : 2004-2-10
OSPFv2 has been criticized for it vulnerability to Denial of
Service (DOS) attacks. With OSPFv3, it is a simple matter to filter
on the destination address at an implementation dependent level
in order to limit the scope of DOS attacks to directly attached
routers. Unlike hop limit checking mechanisms, it is compatible
with the existing OSPFv3 behavior. Howevr, this level of protection
will preclude the deployment of virtual links in topologies where
the filtering is applied.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
