Hi

Seems like a an issue related to website transition. The old one
(bird.network.cz) has just the documentation for v2.16.1, while the
new one (bird.nic.cz) has the latest one:

https://bird.nic.cz/doc/bird-2.17.1.html

Specifically for TCP-AO:

https://bird.nic.cz/doc/bird-2.17.1.html#bgp-authentication
https://bird.nic.cz/doc/bird-2.17.1.html#bgp-keys


Note that for TCP-AO, you need a Linux kernel compiled with TCP-AO support.
