  • Review of Action Items
    • Looking into IPv6 First-Hop Security, and use cases of Static IPv6 and Sub-delegation

Both Jonne and Bin looked into Cisco's article IPv6 First-Hop Security. Both felt that this is a good article about the potential threats/concerns at the first-hop of IPv6 infrastructure. We need to have a deep dive of their solution and guidelines to decide whether or not we need to this feature.

Jonne got the action to further look into the need of IPv6 First-Hop security feature.

Sridhar shared a bug report and a set of patches with regard to ARP spoofing. Sridhar got an action of further looking into those patches, and will report his findings of how well IPv6 First-Hop Security can be addressed in those patches, and if there is any gaps.

  • Revision of PoC 1 design - dual stack, terminology change and 2 diagrams

Mark updated the terminology in the diagram. The others are work in progress, and will give further update next week.

  • Anti-spoofing workaround - Mark, Sridhar and Iben

Sridhar shared his findings in mailing list. The conclusion is that because of the anti-spoofing rule, we will not be able to run a router (i.e., forwarding use-case) inside the VM. In-order to support this requirement, we would need the port-security extension proposed for kilo.

The group discussed alternatives. The consensus is that we may need a small patch for Neutron to disable the anti-spoofing rule in Juno in order to achieve a successful demo. Sridhar got an action to provide this patch.
