+=========================
+TCP Authentication Option
+=========================
+
+The TCP Authentication option specified by RFC5925 replaces the TCP MD5
+Signature option. It similar in goals but not compatible in either wire formats
+or ABI.
+
+Interface
+=========
+
+Individual keys can be added to or removed from a TCP socket by using
+TCP_AUTHOPT_KEY setsockopt and a ``struct tcp_authopt_key``. There is no
+support for reading back keys and updates always replace the old key. These
+structures represent "Master Key Tuples (MKTs)" as described by the RFC.
+
+Per-socket options can set or read using the TCP_AUTHOPT sockopt and a ``struct
+tcp_authopt``. This is optional: doing setsockopt TCP_AUTHOPT_KEY is
+sufficient to enable the feature.
+
+Configuration associated with TCP Authentication is indepedently attached to
+each TCP socket. After listen and accept the newly returned socket gets an
+independent copy of relevant settings from the listen socket.
+
+Key binding
+-----------
+
+Keys can be bound to remote addresses in a way that is similar to TCP_MD5.
+
+ * The full address must match (/32 or /128)
+ * Ports are ignored
+ * Address binding is optional, by default keys match all addresses
+
+RFC5925 requires that key ids do not overlap when tcp identifiers (addr/port)
+overlap. This is not enforced by linux, configuring ambiguous keys will result
+in packet drops and lost connections.
