GLBP MD5 Authentication
MD5 authentication provides greater security than the alternative plain text authentication scheme. MD5
authentication allows each GLBP group member to use a secret key to generate a keyed MD5 hash that
is part of the outgoing packet. A keyed hash of an incoming packet is generated and, if the hash within
the incoming packet does not match the generated hash, the packet is ignored.
