Source Address Validation Improvement Threat Scope
RFC 6959, “Source Address Validation Improvement Threat Scope”, is an Informational document published in May 2013 by D. McPherson, F. Baker, J. Halpern. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Source Address Validation Improvement (SAVI) effort aims to complement ingress filtering with finer-grained, standardized IP source address validation. This document describes threats enabled by IP source address spoofing both in the global and finer-grained context, describes currently available solutions and challenges, and provides a starting point analysis for finer-grained (host granularity) anti-spoofing work.
