IPv6 Router Advertisement Guard
RFC 6105, “IPv6 Router Advertisement Guard”, is an Informational document published in February 2011 by E. Levy-Abegnoli, G. Van de Velde, C. Popoviciu, J. Mohacsi. It has since been updated by RFC 7113. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Routed protocols are often susceptible to spoof attacks. The canonical solution for IPv6 is Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND), a solution that is non-trivial to deploy. This document proposes a light-weight alternative and complement to SEND based on filtering in the layer-2 network fabric, using a variety of filtering criteria, including, for example, SEND status. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
