This draft is a work item of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF. Title : Avoiding ping-pong packets on point-to-point links Author(s) : J. Hagino et al. Filename : draft-ietf-ipngwg-p2p-pingpong-00.txt Pages : 5 Date : 16-Jul-01 In IPv6 point-to-point link operation, there is a significant possibility of aberrant behavior in that packets may ping-pong between the two ends of the link. The problem can lead to wasted bandwidth and can possibly be abused by malicious parties. This document provides an analysis and solution to the problem.

Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-ietf-ipngwg-p2p-pingpong-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-p2p-pingpong-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
