    abstract =  {This document provides guidelines to address security concerns which arise with the use of IP Router Alert option {[}RFC2113{]} and {[}RFC2711{]}. RSVP,{[}RFC2205{]} and {[}RFC3209{]}, and IGMP {[}RFC3376{]} are some of the protocols which make use of the IP Router Alert option. IP datagrams carrying the Router Alert option are usually examined in a router's "slow path" and an excess of such datagrams can cause performance degradation or packet drops in a router's "slow path".},
