Russ, Agreed. I've sent an e-mail to the authors. I think we need to remove words about IPSec and say "SHOULD support TCP-MD5", because TCP-MD5 is really what is meant, but I don't think current implementations actually support it. A bit of context here: folks understand that MSDP is not going to fly high, so there's not much motivation to improve the protocol or its implementations beyond what they already are. However, we do want to record what's been done, hence EXP, not STD. -- Alex http://www.psg.com/~zinin/ Wednesday, April 16, 2003, 12:05:01 PM, Russ Housley wrote: > Alex: > Number 1 is obviously minor.
