[OSPF] KMART BOF

[Acee Lindem <acee at redback.com>]

I'm been getting a lot of E-mails (well, at least 2) on the KMART  
BOF. There is no separate mailing list and we will not form a WG  
group. Here is the BOF summary I wrote:


The KMART (Key MAnagement for RouTing protocols) BOF took place on  
Wednesday, March 12. The name is somewhat of a misnomer as the  
meeting evolved into a sharing of perspectives between the Routing  
Area and Security Area on the direction for securing the routing  
protocols. No less than Four ADs spoke including Tim Polk on why he  
formed the BOF, Ross Callon on requirements for routing security  
(mainly authentication), Dave Ward on his perspective of the problems  
with the current IGPs, and Ron Bonica on the operational  
characteristics of BGP. Additionally, Sandra Murphy presented a brief  
summary of attacks on routing protocols and Eric Rescorla gave a fast  
paced tutorial on key management. The BOF was very well attended and  
the discussion was productive. We were particularly pleased that some  
the of ISP folks came to the mike and told us what problems they felt  
were the most pressing to solve. We'd like to encourage this dialogue  
to continue. The only action items from the meeting were for the  
Security Area to revisit the wording in RFC 3365 with respect to the  
routing protocol environment and for the Routing Area to pursue  
completion of some of the authentication work in the pipeline with  
renewed vigor. The TCP Authentication Option (which is actually in  
the Transport Area) was cited several times.


Thanks,
Acee
