RFC 2267: Network Ingress Filtering: Defeating Denial of Service Attacks which employ IP Source Address Spoofing

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 2827.

Current version: RFC 2827 — Network Ingress Filtering: Defeating Denial of Service Attacks which employ IP Source Address Spoofing

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This paper discusses a simple, effective, and straightforward method for using ingress traffic filtering to prohibit DoS attacks which use forged IP addresses to be propagated from 'behind' an Internet Service Provider's (ISP) aggregation point. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
