Dear Acee, Just a discrepancy between ospfv2 and ospfv3: IN OSPFv2 cryptographic authentication, checksum filed is set to zero. IN OSPFv3 authentication Trailer, both cryptographic authentication and checksum are calculated. Checksum in OSPFv3 covers ipv6 pseudo header, entire ospf packet. Covering ospf packet might not be necessary in this scenario since cryptographic authentication already covers the same.
