Subject: Improved handling of IPv6 atomic fragments (FO=0, MF=0)
Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:24:22 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F266FD6.4070301@gont.com.ar> (raw)
Folks,
FYI. We have published an IETF I-D that proposes an improved handling of
IPv6 atomic fragments (IPv6 fragments that have an offset of 0, and MF=0).
The I-D is available here:
<http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-gont-6man-ipv6-atomic-fragments-00.txt>
The aforementioned behaviour eliminates fragmentation-based attacks
against traffic that employs atomic fragments, and has already been
implemented by OpenBSD.
Thanks,
