Dear birds Experts

we have a BGP peer between Bird server and Juniper devices , we mentioned that in our Juniper router wrong MD5 password log appear as below

kernel: %KERN-4: tcp_auth_ok: Packet from 192.168.0.10:179 wrong MD5 digest

when we capture the BGP update we mentioned that the bird server is sending to the router the update with an unexpected MD5 key and The router ignore this update then again the bird server retransmit the same update with correct MD5

is this issue is expected in bird server or is there any known bug/PR for this issue in Bird

Hi. Can you confirm your password is including special characters or is extensively long? I ran into the same problem when peering between juniper and cisco. I actually got somebody from juniper looking into this. could you send me the password and junos version you're using?

thanks Martin
