A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Routing Area Working Group Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: The Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM)
	Author(s)	: V. Gill, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-rtgwg-rfc3682bis-03.txt
	Pages		: 16

The use of a packet's Time to Live (TTL) (IPv4) or Hop Limit (IPv6)
   to protect a protocol stack from CPU-utilization based attacks has
   been proposed in many settings (see for example, RFC 2461). This
   document generalizes these techniques for use by other protocols such
   as BGP (RFC 1771), Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP),
   Bidirectional Forwarding Detection, and Label Distribution Protocol
   (LDP) (RFC 3036). While the Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM)
   is most effective in protecting directly connected protocol peers, it
   can also provide a lower level of protection to multi-hop sessions.
   GTSM is not directly applicable to protocols employing flooding
   mechanisms (e.g., multicast), and use of multi-hop GTSM should be
   considered on a case-by-case basis.  This document updates RFC 3682.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-rtgwg-rfc3682bis-03.txt".
	
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.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
