Many cite concerns of potential DoS attacks by doing sweeps of IPv6 networks. I don't think this will be a common or wide-spread problem.Myopia doesn't make the problem go away. The point of such an attack is not to "find things", but to overload the router(s). (which can be done rather easily by a few dozen machines.)Only if you don't deploy reasonable mitigation strategies.
Just wondering: What would you deem as "reasonable mitigation strategies"? Thanks, -- Fernando Gont e-mail: fernando () gont com ar || fgont () acm org PGP Fingerprint: 7809 84F5 322E 45C7 F1C9 3945 96EE A9EF D076 FFF1
