>I have read and reviewed Fernando Gont's paper
>draft-gont-opsec-ip-security-01.txt "Security Assessment of the
>Internet Protocol version 4", and I think it should be included in
>the list of your Working Group items. I think that the paper is
>unique in that it aims (and I think succeeds) to summarize *all* the
>known flaws in various IPV4 implementations and the protocol itself,
>and provides recommendations for implementers on how to avoid or
>correct known pitfalls. This is the first attempt that I know of
>to present this information in one place.
