Title : The Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM)
Author(s) : V. Gill, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-rtgwg-rfc3682bis-04.txt
Pages : 16
Date : 2004-9-30
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 obsoletes RFC
3682.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-rtgwg-rfc3682bis-04.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.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
