This draft addresses key RFC 6506 errata and adds clarifications where there was ambiguity. We plan to WG last call shortly.

RFC 6506 implementors - please review and either assure this is the version that you follow or raise an issue.

Thanks,
Acee

Abstract:
  Currently, OSPF for IPv6 (OSPFv3) uses IPsec as the only mechanism
  for authenticating protocol packets.  This behavior is different from
  authentication mechanisms present in other routing protocols (OSPFv2,
  Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), RIP, and Routing
  Information Protocol Next Generation (RIPng)).  In some environments,
  it has been found that IPsec is difficult to configure and maintain
  and thus cannot be used.  This document defines an alternative
  mechanism to authenticate OSPFv3 protocol packets so that OSPFv3 does
  not only depend upon IPsec for authentication.  This document
  obsoletes RFC 6506.

Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org<http://tools.ietf.org>.
