A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Mitigating IPv6 Router Neighbor Cache DoS Using Stateless Neighbor Discovery Author(s) : Mark Smith Filename : draft-smith-6man-mitigate-nd-cache-dos-slnd-05.txt Pages : 12 Date : 2012-11-10 Abstract: The IPv6 neighbor discovery cache is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack that purposely exhausts the state used during the neighbor discovery 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.
