How Secure is the Next-Generation Internet. An Examination of IPv6.

摘要

The deployment of IPv6-aware networks is expected to increase significantly with the exhaustion of the IPv4 address space. This report informs those involved in the deployment and use of IPv6 networks of the security vulnerabilities associated with the protocol. This includes an examination of existing standards; current best-practice from academic research; security vulnerabilities; possible countermeasures; and mitigation strategies to prevent an attacker damaging a network.
