Hi Vijay,

I have a doubt regarding the usage of redirect during INIT exchange.

An attacker in between spoke and hub spoofs the init exchange to anycast
address and then redirects it to another FAKE-HUB1 by specifying unicast
address of the FAKE-HUB1. FAKE-HUB1 subsequently redirects it to FAKE-HUB2
and FAKE-HUB2 to FAKE-HUB3 and go on...

Is that possible.



Thanks

Padmakumar
