This document reports the outcome of a workshop held by the
Internet
Architecture Board (IAB) on Unwanted Internet Traffic.  The
workshop
was held on March 9-10, 2006 at USC/ISI in Marina del Rey,
CA, USA.
The primary goal of the workshop was to foster interchange
between
the operator, standards, and research communities on the
topic of
unwanted traffic, as manifested in, for example, Distributed
Denial
of Service (DDoS) attacks, spam, and phishing, to gain
understandings
on the ultimate sources of these unwanted traffic, and to
assess
their impact and the effectiveness of existing solutions. 
It was
also a goal of the workshop to identify engineering and
research
topics that could be undertaken by the IAB, the IETF, the
IRTF, and
the network research and development community at large to
develop
effective countermeasures against the unwanted traffic. 
This memo 
provides information for the Internet community.

This document is a product of the Internet Architecture
Board.
