[ipv6hackers] (IETF I-D); Implications of IPv6 Addressing on Security Operations (Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-gont-opsec-ipv6-addressing-00.txt)

[Fernando Gont]

Folks,

I happened to participate in an IPv6 deployment meeting with some large 
content provider. Eventually there was a discussion about how to 
mitigate some attacks using block-lists, and they argued that they ban 
offending addresses (/128 for the IPv6 case), following IPv4 practices. 
While they had already deployed IPv6, some of the associated 
implications arising from the increased address space seemed to be 
non-obvious to them.

So that's what motivated the publication of this document.

Abstract:
    The increased address availability provided by IPv6 has concrete
    implications on security operations.  This document discusses such
    implications, and sheds some light on how existing security
    operations techniques and procedures might need to be modified
    accommodate the increased IPv6 address availability.
