The TCP-MD5 option is most commonly used to secure BGP sessions
between routers.  However, changing the long-term key is difficult,
since the change needs to be synchronized between different
organizations.  We describe single-ended strategies that will permit
(mostly) unsynchronized key changes.  This memo provides information for 
the Internet community.
