The simplicity with which ICMPv6 "Packet Too Big" messages can be forged, coupled with the widespread filtering of IPv6 fragments, results in an attack vector that can be leveraged for Denial of Service purposes. This document briefly discusses the aforementioned attack vector, and formally deprecates the generation of IPv6 atomic fragments, such that the aforementioned attack vector is eliminated.}, }
