A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts

	Title		: New IPv6 Type 4 Routing Header
	Author(s)	: V. Manral, M. Dutta

The functionality provided by IPv6's Type 0 Routing Header can be
   exploited in order to achieve traffic amplification over a remote
   path for the purposes of generating denial-of-service traffic.  

   This document updates the IPv6 specification to the use of a new 
   IPv6 Type 4 Routing Header, in light of this security concern. This 
   new header provides the same functionality of the Routing Header
   Type-0, while taking care of the major security concerns defined 
   in the draft [draft-ietf-ipv6-deprecate-rh0-01].

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
