TCP-AO and TCP MD5 authentication are VRF aware for LDP and BGP
TCP Authentication Option (TCP-AO) and TCP MD5 authentication are VRF aware in BGP and LDP sessions. You can configure TCP-AO and TCP MD5 under non-default routing instances. The TCP authentication method you configure under a routing instance is only applied to the TCP sessions inside that VRF instance. If a TCP connection in a different VRF instance has the same destination IP address, the TCP authentication method does not get applied to that TCP connection if the VRF instance does not have TCP authentication configured for the peer.
