It's ultimately an issue at every layer, hence "defense in depth". Every layer does its part for security, we don't punt because some other layer ought to handle it.
- chongli 4y agoThat’s one way. Another way is to remove some layers. You don’t need to secure nonexistent layers.
- thfuran 4y agoYou don't need to secure non-existent layers but you probably shouldn't remove your front door to prevent people from picking its lock.
- throwaway894345 4y agoThe IP layer exists whether you're using v4 or v6.
- chongli 4y agoI realize the OP is about IPv6 but my comment puts the blame on operating systems. Between the operating system running on the server, through the routers of the internet and a user’s home router, through the consumer operating system running on the user’s laptop, and all of the firmware and microcode along the way, there are many, many more layers involved what is specified in the OSI model. And so many of these layers exist for legacy reasons, business expedience, and market failure. They don’t actually make things better.
