Applicability of Keying Methods for RSVP Security
RFC 6411, “Applicability of Keying Methods for RSVP Security”, is an Informational document published in October 2011 by M. Behringer, F. Le Faucheur, B. Weis. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Resource reSerVation Protocol (RSVP) allows hop-by-hop integrity protection of RSVP neighbors. This requires messages to be cryptographically protected using a shared secret between participating nodes. This document compares group keying for RSVP with per-neighbor or per-interface keying, and discusses the associated key provisioning methods as well as applicability and limitations of these approaches. This document also discusses applicability of encrypting RSVP messages. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
