Re: IPv6, IPSEC and deep packet inspection

[Rob Thomas <robt () cymru com>]

Hi, NANOGers.

Folks who are considering or using IPv6 should know that the miscreants
are as well.  There have been IPv6 bots and botnets.  IPv6 based hosts
are regularly used as a bounce for IRC access.  IPv6 DoS tools do exist.
Many of your monitoring tools choke on IPv6, or ignore it entirely.

So while a new approach to security with IPv6 may be warranted, many of
the same old threats await you there.

Thanks,
Rob.
