Technical Summary
The IETF is engaged in an effort to analyze security of routing
protocol authentication according to design guidelines discussed in
RFC 6518. Developing an operational and management model for routing
protocol security that works with all the routing protocols will be
critical to the deployability of these efforts. This document gives
recommendations to operators and implementors regarding management
and operation of router authentication. These recommendations will
also assist protocol designers in understanding management issues
they will face.
Working Group Summary
The need for this document is clearly indicated in order to meet the
KARP charter. There has been little controversy.
Document Quality

Security Area as well as the Routing Area. This document received
substantial review from individuals participating in the KARP WG, and
there is a clear consensus to progress it. . The WGLC was also
advertised to the OPSEC WG, and at least one key review was made by a
member of that group. Since the document discusses operational
security, this was critical in confirming the quality of the document.
