In the enterprise, all outbound UDP traffic should be denied, with specific UDP services allowed to specific Internet sites. Other security issues exist, all of which can be partially mitigated and most of which are not new. Teredo Tunnel Security Issues (Cont.) Teredo Client Teredo Server IPv4 NAT

12 © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.IP6FD v Summary Dual stack may lead to uneven security posture at Layer 3, one for IPv4 and one for IPv6. IPv6 transition mechanisms are unable to inspect tunneled packets. When using IPsec, edge devices cannot inspect ESP-encrypted payloads. Tunneling can compromise perimeter security. IPsec will not run through NAT. When configuring edge packet filtering, be sure to deny all by default while permitting needed functions.
