Abstract:
When using IPv6 within a single L2 network segment it is assumed that
for good network behavior, the available routers attached to the segment
are valid routers.  A rogue Router Advertisement (RA) [1] however could
be sent by accident by a misconfigured network device, or on purpose by
malicious devices.  This document proposes a solution to reduce the
threat of rogue RAs by enabling layer 2 devices to provide forward RAs
received over designated ports.
