> Abstract:
> This document is concerned with security vulnerabilities in IPv6-in-
> IPv4 automatic tunnels.  These vulnerabilities allow an attacker to
> take advantage of inconsistencies between a tunnel's overlay IPv6
> routing state and the native IPv6 routing state.  The attack forms a
> routing loop which can be abused as a vehicle for traffic
> amplification to facilitate DoS attacks.  The first aim of this
> document is to inform on this attack and its root causes.  The second
> aim is to present some possible mitigation measures.
