I've never really seen MD5 cause issues.I have run into plenty of problems caused by MD5-related bugs. 6500/7600 can still figure the MSS incorrectly when using it. It used to be possible for that particular box to send over-sized frames out Ethernet ports with MD5 enabled, which of course were likely to be dropped by the neighboring router or switching equipment (perhaps even carrier Ethernet equipment.) Obviously that can be a chore to troubleshoot. Sometimes we choose to use it. Sometimes we don't. --
Bugs are a different argument though. If you could call something harmful because a single vendor codes it wrong there would be far fewer windows users in the world. (I know it's friday, but please no one change the subject to OS's)
