JR> So, last summer (Late May) there was some discussion about
JR> RFC 2385 support ("Protection of BGP Sessions via the TCP MD5
JR> Signature") which had been written but not committed due to
JR> lack of time on the part of the developer(s) who had written
JR> it.  Is there someone I can buy a beer or two to persuade to
JR> revisit this?  :)  It would be nice to be able to continue to
JR> use NetBSD for BGP applications now that many peers are
JR> demanding MD5 session authentication...

TTL 255 hack is even easier and has a lower CPU cost.
