Regarding authentication MIB elements for OSPFv3

Hi All,

 

According to RFC 5643 [Management Information Base for OSPFv3 ] in the section Authentication, its mentioned as below

2.3.  Authentication

 

   In OSPFv3, authentication has been removed from the protocol itself.

   MIB objects related to authentication are not carried forward from

   the OSPFv2 MIB module. “

 

 

However, with the publication of RFC 6503 [Supporting Authentication Trailer for OSPFv3], the statement above is no longer true. A revision to the MIB is required now.

 

I would like to suggest to update RFC 5643 to reflect the new MIB element of authentication for OSPFv3.

 

Regards,

-   Tanmoy
