Deprecation of Type 0 Routing Headers in IPv6

Metadata

Publisher: IETF
Doc Type: Standard
Pages: 7
Abstract: The functionality provided by IPv6's Type 0 Routing Header can be exploited in order to achieve traffic amplification over a remote path for the purposes of generating denial-of-service traffic. This document updates the IPv6 specification to deprecate the use of IPv6 Type 0 Routing Headers, in light of this security concern. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
