Abstract

This memo describes MD5 authentication scheme for BGP-4 routing protocol analogous to the one proposed for SNMP Version 2 and RIP-2. The mechanism provides greatly enhanced probability for a system attacked to detect and ignore messages received. A sequence number improves additionally the resistance against replay attacks.
