Never been deployable for multicast routing protocols.  Nice theory.

What key management would they use?  G-IKEv1?
Wouldn't work; because you wouldn't be able to do key negotiation until you 
have connectivity, and you wouldn't have connectivity until you do OSPFv3.

So, in order to make it work, you need both secured and insecured OSPFv3.
Thus, same problem as SEND.

Or, you need manually keyed AH,  preconfigured, at the console, by an operator.


[HJ] Nokia SROS using manual keying , and I believe Cisco and Juniper do the 
same.
