RFC 5082: The Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM)

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

The use of a packet's Time to Live (TTL) (IPv4) or Hop Limit (IPv6) to verify whether the packet was originated by an adjacent node on a connected link has been used in many recent protocols. This document generalizes this technique. This document obsoletes Experimental RFC 3682. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
