[c-nsp] Securing OSPFv3 on 6500/7600 Routers?

[Pete Lumbis]

I would see the benefit more from authentication than from encryption.

My understanding is that instead of doing MD5 hashing as a function of
OSPF, OSPFv3 simply leverages the built in IPSec functionality of
IPv6. I would imagine the end goals are the same.
