Has anyone seen the recently published IETF draft regarding ICMP attacks 
against TCP? 
[http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gont-tcpm-icmp-attacks-00.txt]

I'm interested in any comments as to the vulnerability of FreeBSD's TCP 
to such attacks and the need for or usefulness of the various solutions 
proposed in the paper.

Thanks, all

- Steve
