I have set up a list. Send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text "subscribe" in the body to join. (The name of the list is "SEND" for Secure Neighbour Discovery.) > one thing i don't understand is, why do you think it is not a problem > for ARP, and is a problem for ND. It is certainly an issue for ARP as well. There's a few issues though which make the issue more relevant for us to discuss in the IPv6 context: - IPv6 has somewhat more control functionality (router discovery etc). Yes, serious enough attacks can be already launched with ARP, but nevertheless. - The IETF doesn't control address resolution on different link technologies. We do, however, control neighbour discovery and ICMPv6. - You could make the argument that let's try to fix this in v6 and move to using it, rather than fixing it in all versions of IP.
