The IAB is ready to ask the RFC-Editor to publish
Internet Denial of Service Considerations
draft-iab-dos-03.txt
as an Informational RFC. This document provides a survey
of known denial of service (DoS) attack types on various
parts of Internet infrastructure (hosts, routers, links,
etc), as well as reviewing attack amplifiers. Mitigation
strategies -- from protocol design through deployment
choices -- are explored.
The IAB solicits comments by November 26, 2005. Please send
comments to the IAB (iab@iab.org), or to ietf@ietf.org.
The document can be found at
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-dos-03.txt
>From the Abstract:
This document provides an overview of possible avenues for denial-of-
service attack on Internet systems. The aim is to encourage protocol
designers and network engineers towards designs that are more robust.
We discuss partial solutions that reduce the effectiveness of
attacks, and how some solutions might inadvertently open up
alternative vulnerabilities.
Leslie Daigle,
For the IAB.
