I understand that MD5 is quite commonly used in IGP such as OSPF but not in BGP4. Am I correct? Can someone explain to me why? Shouldn't one be more concerned the session being hijacked when talking to another network?
i believe this is because bgp will not establish a session unless the other end is directly connected. hence the reason for ebgp-multihop. so unless somebody drops a physical line into your router and configures it, you shouldn't have a problem. at least that's the way i understand it. please correct me if i'm wrong. damon
