Title : Deprecation of Source Routing Options in IPv4
Author(s) : A. Reitzel
Filename : draft-reitzel-ipv4-source-routing-is-evil-00.txt
Pages : 6

[RFC0791] defines two IPv4 options called "Strict Source Routing" and
"Loose Source Routing". Functionality provided by these options can
be exploited in order to perform remote network discovery, to bypass
firewalls and to achieve packet amplification for the purposes of
generating denial-of-service traffic. This document updates RFC 791
to deprecate the use of the IPv4 Strict Source Routing Option as well
as the IPv4 Loose Source Routing Option.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-reitzel-ipv4-source-routing-is-evil-00.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.
