IMHO, any serious network operator using OSPF or BGP should
have already deployed the techniques below (as applicable):
	OSPF with Keyed MD5 Authentication
	BGP-4 with the Keyed MD5 Authentication extension
		as a TCP option.

WRT ISIS, lack of a CLNP infrastructure limits the ability of
outsiders to attack a network.  Nonetheless, ISIS should probably
also get some kind of cryptographic authentication extension.
