Hi,

This draft was last presented in Maastricht where I believe there was a consensus on accepting this as a WG item as part of BFD's recharter. OSPF (rfc 5709) and IS-IS (rfc 5310) are already supporting these enhanced crypto algorithms and we must add support for these in BFD as well, since BFD is used to determine the liveliness of these protocols. In addition to this it also provides key agility which is definitely required.

Link to the updated draft:

Cheers, Manav
