heal.abstract	The TCP/IP protocol suite are the most widely used communication protocols. Although their implementation begun at late 1960s, the tradeoffs between security and performance are not yet well understood. It is evident from the known severe attacks that has undergone, that encryption might be necessary on special messages (DNS messages, routing tables exchange) or in the IP level. In this paper, we focus on the attacks that become feasible because of the nature of the TCP/IP protocols. There is not yet a consent in the Internet community on how to make TCP/IP more secure without a major downrating on its performance. Finally we investigate, in detail, a recent attack, namely, IP spoofing, which takes advantage of the finer mechanisms of TCP/IP.	en
