Hello, I was wondering if solutions to energy consumption attacks on battery powered mobile hosts would be of interest to IETF Mobile IPv6 community. The attack consists of sending frequent request packets e.g. SIP INVITE or TCP SYN to a victim's home address. For example, experiments showed that the battery of a mobile phone with 802.11 access can be remotely consumed in 3 hours (full battery). Attacks on phones using an outdoor technology would result in more energy consumption because of the longer distance to the base station. The victim becomes unusable.
