[Tuexen Michael] Consider an attacker who is flooding you with
INITs. He is using his own IP address or is using a different
(spoofing).
The receiver will send back INIT-ACKs and forget about the assoc. So
NO resources at the receiver will be reserved for the attacker. Only
if
you got back the COOKIE from the sender of the INIT you will reserve
some
resources. If the attacker is spoofing the IP Address, this will
never happen.

[Tuexen Michael] Where do you find this? I don't find the
place where this is stated. I find a lot of 'multi-homed endpoints'.
