RFC2267: Network Ingress Filtering: Defeating Denial of Service Attacks which employ IP Source Address Spoofing1998 RFC
Reflects downloads up to 13 Jan 2025Bibliometrics
Skip Abstract Section
Abstract

Recent occurrences of various Denial of Service (DoS) attacks which have employed forged source addresses have proven to be a troublesome issue for Internet Service Providers and the Internet community overall. This paper discusses a simple, effective, and straightforward method for using ingress traffic filtering to prohibit DoS attacks which use forged IP addresses to be propagated from 'behind' an Internet Service Provider's (ISP) aggregation point.
