While the quantity of peering sessions I've had is far less than
yours, once upon a time when I had tried to get MD5 on dozens of peering
sessions I learned quite a bit about those engineers and those
networks. I got to find out who couldn't do password management, who
never heard of MD5 and who had been listening to Patrick. :-) All good
input that inform what else I might want to do to protect myself from
those networks or who I wouldn't mind having a business relationship
with.
