Abstract:
This document describes a BFD Optimized Authentication Mode,
Meticulous Keyed ISAAC Authentication. This mode can be used to
authenticate BFD packets with less CPU time cost than using MD5 or
SHA1, with the tradeoff of decreased security. This mechanism cannot
be used to signal state changes, but it can be used to maintain a
session in the the Up state.
