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.
