   I'm writing a thesis about DoS/DDoS methods against IPv6/IPsec.
   
=> with the home address option defined for/by mobile IPv6, you can
build a "nice" indirect DDoS: (I suppose you know how the home address
option works) from a large number of A nodes you send to B nodes requests
(i.e. packets which have to be answered) with the address of C (the target)
in a home address options: B nodes will send replies to C without any
mention of A nodes (so this is an indirect DDoS).
