Abstract:
The IPv6 neighbor discovery cache is vulnerable to a Denial of
Service attack that purposely exhausts the state used during the
neighbor discovery address resolution process. This attack can be
very disruptive when the target is a router. This memo proposes a
stateless form of neighbor discovery to be used by routers to
mitigate this attack. It does not require any changes to hosts.
