Re: bgp md5 auth

Two refused. One simply said they don't support. The other with reasoning that it was dumb and unnecessary with point-to-point links (ATM PVCs).

a bit light on the clue, eh?

Two organization said they don't support TCP MD5 authentication, but they'll do BGP password. Now when I ask I put a 'aka BGP password' in parentheses after I use the words 'TCP MD5 authentication'.

hey, they may never have seen more than one vendor in their lives, but at least they're trying.

The most common means of exchanging a password was over the phone. Second most common way was via PGP encrypted email. One organization sent a password in plain text email.
