In article [ref] (at Wed, 09 Jan 2008 15:32:12 -0800 (PST)), David Miller [off-list ref] says:
I question any RFC mandate that shuts down IP communication on a node
because of packets received from remote systems.
RFC4862 tell us that we SHOULD disable IP communication.
(IP means IPv6 here; IPv4 is out of scope.)
In IETF term, a SHOULD is almost a MUST. We are required to follow
unless we have very good reason to ignore it.
If the TAHI test can trigger this, so can a compromised system on your
network and won't that be fun? :-)
So, I know the specification, but I have ignored it.
I think it is fine to implent in some way, but I do think we must have
a switch not to do this.
