Abstract
It has long been known to researchers that address spoofing on the 
Internet is a serious problem. While a great deal of effort has been put 
into finding theoretical and practical solutions, spoofed attacks are 
still globally endemic. They represent a simple nuisance to many, but a 
business-halting bane to others. Enter IPv6. IPv6 is the next generation 
of the Internet protocol designed to alleviate the existing global 
address shortage and improve the scalability and extensibility of the 
aging IPv4 protocol. This new protocol provides a huge 128-bit address 
space which should provide enough addresses for a great deal of Internet 
expansion. In this paper, we propose methods which use the large IPv6 
address space to mitigate spoofed attacks.
