Abstract

A network element supports Transmission Control Protocol Authentication Option (TCP-AO) with a Key Management Protocol (KMP) to authenticate TCP segments over a TCP session. The network element negotiates multiple traffic keys to authenticate TCP segments over a TCP session with a peer network element, and protects the TCP session with the negotiated traffic keys.
