IPv6: Threats Posed By Multicast Packets, Extension Headers  and Their Counter Measures

Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2013, Vol 15, Issue 2

Abstract

 Security issues concerning the spreading Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is one of the major issues in the world of networking today. Since it is not the default network protocol deployed nowadays (but  systems are migrating slowly from ipv4 to ipv6) there are no best practices from the point of network administrators, nor are any guarantees that implemented IPv6 protocol stacks and security techniques without  any bugs. This paper addresses some security concerns like extensive use of multicast packets and extension  headers and its countermeasures
