A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Mitigating Neighbor Discovery Based Denial of Service Attacks Author(s) : Joel M. Halpern Filename : draft-halpern-6man-nddos-mitigation-00.txt Pages : 6 Date : 2011-10-17 It has been observed that with the large space of IPv6 addresses within a subnet, remote attackers can send packets that saturate a rotuers ND cache, and potentially saturate a subnet with ND Soliciation messages as well. Some operational techniques and small protocol adjustments have been proposed that can help alleviate this problem. This draft proposes a slightly more drastic optional behavior for routers, which can nearly eliminate this problem.
