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.
