This document relaxes the packet verification rules defined in "MAC
Authentication for the Babel Routing Protocol" (RFC 8967) in order to
make the protocol more robust in the presence of packet reordering. 
This document updates RFC 8967.

This document is a product of the Babel routing protocol Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
