Two fixes:
1. Don't try to dissect the MD5 authentication data as a route entry (RTE). It's not. I made sure it's also the last entry in the packet and it gets dissected only if MD5 authentication is used. 2. Some implementation use the Auth. Data Length field value as the WHOLE Authentication data length (0xFFFF (2 bytes) + 0x0001 (2 bytes) + 16 bytes of auth. data = 20) while others only as the auth. data length ( = 16). Since MD5's auth data is 16 bytes anyway, I've hard coded it in the code (in #define), and not relied on auth_data_len. I've tested it on implementations using either way and it seems to work fine.
