This flooding attack is slightly different from the one mentioned in the threats document because there is no real victim invovled. Just the routers and links which still needs to be prevented.
perhaps it would make sense to mention explicitly in the threats document that the target of a flooding attack may not be a host but an access link or an access router?
What do others think? I'll send in an updated threats document later this week (just waiting for an answer from Rob Austein) so if folks want a clarification about this let me know soon.
(And text to include would be appreciated as always.)
I wouldn't object to this being included, but flooding attacks on generic targets are kind of a generic Internet threat anyway. I'd want to see text that very explicitly says why this is a threat *made worse* by the presence of multi6.
