Technical Summary
This document analyzes the security mechanisms
for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3, according to the guidelines
set forth in RFC 6518. In analyzes the current state of
each protocol, describes gaps, and discusses work
that needs to be done to close those gaps.
Working Group Summary
This document is the first of a series of documents analyzing
routing protocol security, which is the initial mission of the
working group. There was little controversy of note.
Members and chairs of the OSPF WG were active in
its development and review.
Document Quality
The document meets the criteria for the phase 1
analysis as defined in RFC 6518. Recommendations
of methods of closing security gaps have already been
included in I-Ds accepted as OSPF WG documents.
