FCFS SAVI: First-Come, First-Served Source Address Validation
Improvement for Locally Assigned IPv6 Addresses
Abstract
This memo describes First-Come, First-Served Source Address
Validation Improvement (FCFS SAVI), a mechanism that provides source
address validation for IPv6 networks using the FCFS principle. The
proposed mechanism is intended to complement ingress filtering
techniques to help detect and prevent source address spoofing.
