[lacnog] Fwd: BCP 186, RFC 7126 on Recommendations on Filtering of IPv4 Packets Containing IPv4 Options

[Fernando Gont]

FYI: <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7126.txt>

El que lo lea puede sacar (o no), algo útil. Mi paga personal fue
escribir algo con Ran Atkinson. Mas alla de lo que el tipo hizo durante
su vida, porque es genial que alguien tenga "honestidad intelectual" --
que a veces apoye tus trabajos vehementemente, y en otras, si cree que
la propuesta no es buena, haga lo propio.

Enjoy,
Fernando
