Well, most likely MD5 is better than the alterantive today which is to run no authentication/encryption at all.
But we should push whoever is developing these standards to go for SHA-1 or equivalent instead of MD5 in the longer term.
Who is working on this? I don't find anything here: http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/idr-charter.html All I can find is: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2385.txt http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3562.txt http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4278.txt Nothing on replacing MD5 for BGP. -Hank
