BFD Authentication

["Shahram Davari" <davari at broadcom.com>]

Hi,

 

Reading through base draft, it seems that the suggested Authentication methods (password, MD5 and SHA1) are all very weak authentications and not really used any more. Is it too late to propose another simple but yet powerful Authentication such as GMAC?

 

Also since the Authentication Type is communicated in each packet does it mean that it is allowed to change Authentication type in the middle of a BFD session?

 

Thanks,
