Hi folks, I have been wondering how IPv6 will deal with the tiny fragment attack, RFC1858. Is there a minimum non-last fragment size specified for IPv6? With so many extension headers a size of around 80bytes IP Header+ payload may not necessarily be right.
It is defined to be larger than 1280 octets. Janos Mohacsi Network Engineer, Research Associate NIIF/HUNGARNET, HUNGARY Key 00F9AF98: 8645 1312 D249 471B DBAE 21A2 9F52 0D1F 00F9 AF98
I think, we could specify something closer to 200 bytes, which would mean that we would certainly have the TCP header in the first fragment. Thanks, Vishwas
