Abstract:
Currently, OSPF for IPv6 (OSPFv3) uses IPsec as the only mechanism
for authenticating protocol packets. This behavior is different from
authentication mechanisms present in other routing protocols (OSPFv2,
Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), RIP, and Routing
Information Protocol Next Generation (RIPng)). In some environments,
it has been found that IPsec is difficult to configure and maintain
and thus cannot be used. This document defines an alternative
mechanism to authenticate OSPFv3 protocol packets so that OSPFv3 does
not only depend upon IPsec for authentication.
The OSPFv3 Authentication Trailer was originally defined in RFC 6506.
This document obsoletes RFC 6506 by providing a revised definition
including clarifications and refinements of the procedures.
