TCP-MD5 may technically be obsolete, but it’s used widely for protecting BGP 
sessions in the real world. Noting the comments in 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5925#page-35 that any AO implementation SHOULD 
support MD5, I would suggest starting with an RFC 2385 TCP-MD5 implementation. 
It may be legacy, but you need it anyway and it gets you significant real world 
coverage immediately.

Chris.

Or TCP-AO, RFC 5925, instead, as it has obsoleted RFC 2385?
