Re: tcp md5 bgp attacks?

With regards to BGP, the MD5 thing was promulgated to counter what was a largely theoretical threat.

the rst attacks were a very serious problem. attacks were very real and very disruptive. gtsm et alia were a few years later.

We still see DDoS attacks against routers, of course.

i am focused on bgp, not the daily craptastic packet fling. randy
