Title : Operational issues with Tiny Fragments in IPv6
Author(s) : V. Manral
Filename : draft-manral-v6ops-tiny-fragments-issues-01.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 2005-12-9
IPv6 fragmentation allows fragments to be sent only by the source of
a packet. The Fragment header is used by an IPv6 source to send a
packet larger than would fit in the path MTU to its destination.
Firewalls generally use 5-tuples to filter out packets. However there
are cases where fragmentation can be used to disguise TCP packets
from IP filters used in routers and hosts. This document specifies
where tiny fragments can be issues.

In the body type:

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.
