I’ve looked at it, hear it works, but not been willing to take the hit for any transition.

I talked about some of this and other challenges at SAAG WG at IETF 101.  Transport area has some possible interesting things, but similar to what Haas said, TCP-AO isn’t really viable yet, and we need something that’s stable enough to last 5-7 years, which is very different from a HTTP transaction that may live only a few seconds.

We have some places where we could transition non-BGP protocols and rotate the key, but last I recall it was only there on a single vendor so multi-vendor posed some challenges.
