It should be possible to mitigate this, so long as the attack does not actually originate from a neighbor on the same subnet as a router IP interface on an IPv6 subnet with sufficient number of IPs.
Well, unless there's some layer-2 anti-spoofing mitigation in place, with /64 subnets the "local attacker" typically *will* have enough addresses.
Solving a local attack is something I consider different in scope than the current draft being discussed in 6man, v6ops, ipv6@ etc... Anyone on a layer-2 network can do something interesting like flood all f's and kill the lan. Trying to keep the majority of thoughts here for layer-3 originated attacks, even if the target is a layer2 item. - Jared
