Title : The case against Hop-by-Hop options
Author(s) : S. Krishnan
Filename : draft-krishnan-ipv6-hopbyhop-01.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 2007-7-12
The Hop-by-Hop option header is a type of IPv6 extension header that
has been defined in the IPv6 protocol specification. The contents of
this header need to be processed by every node along the path of an
IPv6 datagram.This draft highlights the characteristics of this
extension header which make it prone to Denial of Service attacks and
proposes solutions to minimize such attacks.

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.
