Abstract:
   Over the years, a number of attack vectors that employ forged ICMP/
   ICMPv6 error messages have been disclosed and exploited in the wild.
   The aforementioned attack vectors do not require that the source
   address of the packets be forged, but do require that the addresses
   of the IP/IPv6 packet embedded in the ICMP/ICMPv6 payload be forged.
   This document discusses a simple, effective, and straightforward
   method for using ingress traffic filtering to mitigate attacks that
   use forged addresses in the IP/IPv6 packet embedded in an ICMP/ICMPv6
   payload.  This advice is in line with the recommendations in BCP38.
