RFC 7298: Babel Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC) Cryptographic Authentication

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 8967.

Current version: RFC 8967 — MAC Authentication for the Babel Routing Protocol

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document describes a cryptographic authentication mechanism for the Babel routing protocol. This document updates RFC 6126. The mechanism allocates two new TLV types for the authentication data, uses Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC), and is both optional and backward compatible.
