Perhaps we are all making too much of this... It appears that Winstar feels that there is no need for MD5 authentication of peering sessions. One of our customers has just had the following response from Winstar following a request to implement MD5 on their OC3 connection to Winstar. My first suggestion is to locate another upstream provider (they have 3 already). However, perhaps someone from Winstar would care to help us all understand what the alternative solution is to securing the session via MD5? I would *love* an alternative to the 5 days of work we've just gone through. > -----Original Message----- > From: Justin Crawford - NMCW Engineer [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 11:13 AM > To: xxxxxx > Subject: Re: *****SPAM***** MD5 implimentation on BGP > > xxxxx, > > Winstar does not currently run MD5 authentication with our peers. > > Thanks > > Justin > > Thank you for your time and business > > Justin Crawford > Winstar NMCW > Ph: 206-xxx.xxxx Has anyone else run in to this with Winstar? -- Rodney Joffe CenterGate Research Group, LLC. http://www.centergate.com "Technology so advanced, even we don't understand it!"(SM)
