I recommend that you take part in the RIPE IPv6 Security training course at the RIPEAcademy <https://academy.ripe.net/>. One of the topics covered is ICMPv6 filtering (Unit 4). In this unit, you will learn about best practices for filtering and rate limiting certain IPv6 and/or ICMPv6 packets. Rinse On 5-10-2024 21:20, Marco Moock wrote:

While going through the deployment procedure I was not able to find any BCP/BCOP regarding how to filter ICMPv6, what standards should be followed. Don't filter it at all at the ISP level for your customers.
The neighbor discovery packets can't be abused from other links because they will be discarded when they don't have TTL of 255. Make sure you reject RAs from the customers on your PPP links.
Although, inside a link (e.g. on a office network), filtering for certain packages like RA is needed to avoid certain intended or accidental stuff.
Other stuff like the destination unreachable must not be blocked at all.
ICMPv6 isn't a security risk itself.
