IPv6 isn't heavily used *currently*, so it may be perfectly acceptable to deal with the mythological IPv6 DDoS
The only IPv6-related DDoS attacks of which I'm aware to date is miscreants going after 6-to-4 gateways in order to disrupt one another's IPv6-tunneled botnet C&C traffic. However, as soon as there are moneymaking opportunities to be had and/or ideological vendettas to be pursued by launching pure IPv6-based DDoS attacks, we can all rest assured they won't let the side down. ;> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice. -- H.L.
