[LAC-TF] RFC 6980 on Security Implications of IPv6 Fragmentation with IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (fwd)

[Fernando Gont]

Hola, Azael!

Gracias por reenviar el anuncio. -- Chequié hoy mas temprano si se habia
publicado, y no habia encontrado nada.

Mis agradecimientos a Roque, quien contribuyó el texto del apéndice. Y a
Roque, que hace un par de años atrás presentó este documento en la
reunion del 6man wg (en Maastricht?), cuando el mismo era controversial.
-- Personalmente sensé que el sabía que iba a esquivar algunas balas...
asi que "kudos" para el. ;-)

Y a mi hermano Guillermo, quien es un co-autor implícito en casi todo lo
que hago.

Si bien uno termina poniendo el nombre como autor, la calidad final de
un documento depende de los aportes de quienes envían comentarios, y
proponen mejoras. En tal sentido, los "Acknowledgements" de este
documento son:

   The author would like to thank (in alphabetical order) Mikael
   Abrahamsson, Ran Atkinson, Ron Bonica, Jean-Michel Combes, David
   Farmer, Adrian Farrel, Stephen Farrell, Roque Gagliano, Brian
   Haberman, Bob Hinden, Philip Homburg, Ray Hunter, Arturo Servin, Mark
   Smith, and Martin Stiemerling for providing valuable comments on
   earlier versions of this document.

   The author would also like to thank Roque Gagliano for contributing
   the information regarding message sizes in Appendix A, and Arturo
   Servin for presenting this document at IETF 81.

   Finally, the author would like to thank his brother, friend, and
   colleague, Guillermo Gont, for his love and support.

   This document resulted from the project "Security Assessment of the
   Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)" [CPNI-IPv6], carried out by
   Fernando Gont on behalf of the UK Centre for the Protection of
   National Infrastructure (CPNI).
