--- Comment #7 from Rodney W. Grimes <rgrimes@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Michael Tuexen from comment #6)
Not that I can find, though I find some stuff on the internet that suggests
Juniper sponsored some work on it, where that ended up I have no idea.

This is one of my reasons for wanting tcp-md5 support to be prevalent as
without it you can not protect BGP sessions, and most BGP peers request at a
minimum md5 protection.  Its probably ok that RACK does not have it, and th=
at
should be somehow documented or at least an error condition asserted if one
tries to use it with RACK.  Silent failure like this person experienced is
painful, and people dealing with BGP already have enough pain.
