IPv4 Headers Investigated

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-makes-a-lot-of-sense dept.

An anonymous reader writes "New security measures are being suggested (see RFC 3514) for the IPv4 header.

Due to the important security implications, anyone coding client/server internet applications might want to take a look."
