One of the ideas of IPv6 which doesn't work in practice - everything IPv6 "must" support IPsec. In any case, I believe the lack of IPsec authentication for OSPFv3 is fairly widespread. See this draft for an attempt at something more lightweight than full IPsec: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ospf-auth-trailer-ospfv3-06 > you get different lists of supported platforms, but both are pretty small > and lack any of the gear I'm interested in. Is everyone using/moving to > ISIS?...or just doing OSPFv3 without authentication? ISIS here.
