Title : Routing Loop Attack using IPv6 Automatic Tunnels: Problem Statement and Proposed Mitigations
Author(s) : G. Nakibly, F. Templin
Filename : draft-nakibly-v6ops-tunnel-loops-02.txt
Pages : 11

This document is concerned with security vulnerabilities in IPv6-in-
IPv4 automatic tunnels. These vulnerabilities allow an attacker to
take advantage of inconsistencies between a tunnel's overlay IPv6
routing state and the native IPv6 routing state. The attack forms a
routing loop which can be abused as a vehicle for traffic
amplification to facilitate DoS attacks. The first aim of this
document is to inform on this attack and its root causes. The second
aim is to present some possible mitigation measures.
