A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Mitigating IPv6 Neighbor Discovery DoS Attack Using Stateless Neighbor Presence Discovery Author(s) : Mark Smith Filename : draft-smith-6man-mitigate-nd-cache-dos-slnd-06.txt Pages : 14 Date : 2013-02-20 Abstract: One of the functions of IPv6 Neighbor Discovery is to discover whether a specified neighbor is present. During the neighbor presence discovery process state is created. A node's capacity for this state can be intentionally exhausted to perform a denial of service attack, known as the "Neighbor Discovery DoS Attack". This memo proposes a stateless form of neighbor presence discovery to prevent this Neighbor Discovery DoS Attack.
