The article linked says no mainstream BGP implementation supports TCP-AO.
IOS-XE and IOS-XR support it.
While I do not represent the Cisco view, personally I like the idea of BGP over TLS.

isn't julien's idea more akin to DOT then DOH ?
Yes, and I really like Julien's proposal. It even looks pretty
complete. There are just a few details missing around how to make the
MD5 => TLS transition smooth.
At least for those systems that run on Linux (which is most all of the
major's except Juniper) I suspect if we went to the relevant kernel folk
with a clear plan on how handling TCP-MD5 in a way that would make
transitions much easier they'd listen.
The troll response at the top of my post was actually based on a
response from one of the kernel folk, who dislike TCP options even more
than network operators.
Sorry for any confusion caused by an attempt to make a joke on DoH. I
didn't anticipate the sudden turn to serious discussionWhich
obviously was a good one. I am all for BGP over TLS, so let's discuss

If anyone is at all interested in this I'm happy to discuss and flesh
out anything that's not clear. After I wrote this (over a few bottles of
red on the flight to linux.conf.au this year) I sent it to a bunch of
people that had expressed interest, including a few BGP implementations,
but nobody bit.
