This memo describes a simple defense mechanism against a specific
type of network flooding attacks.  The suggested mechanism requires a
mobile node to establish a 'symbiotic relationship' with the
infrastructure, in order to empower it to repel such attack while
giving enough insurance to the source(s) of the traffic about the
need to cease sending traffic to the targeted network.

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
