Well gee Randy, I think you would have been happy.  Here we are carrying
related data in the same place.  And, in the long run, the
authentication information will become just as integral a piece of BGP
as the NLRI are.

Even you don't get to complain about data duplication and protocol
"overloading" in the same day.  Make up your mind.  All protocols MUST
have some redundancy.  You want it in one place?  Or more than one?

Tony
