yea, so ... without my co-chair-special-garments on I'm not sure experimental heads us in the direction of ubiquitous secure interdomain routing. We seem to be in a bit of a jam :( I don't think SIDR is going to be able to, by declaration, get opensource implementations of AO to appear. I don't see non-open-source implementations on the server side for tcp-md5 sadly either, but at least fbsd/obsd/linux have tcp-md5 support. -chris _______________________________________________ sidr mailing list sidr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
