Yes, LFA as designed. > We still need something to trigger the switchover. The > only thing I can think of is how you were simulating > failure. Lost of carrier will always beat BFD. Agree - carrier loss detection is faster than BFD, which is why we tried to simulate other failure types such as PFE (data plane) failure, differences in detection based on whether we pulled the cable or shutdown the port, failure of the link from the remote side, e.t.c. Results varied from 20ms - 120ms without BFD, depending on how failure was done. As is the case with labs, there is never enough time for all scenarios, so I'm going to put some personal work into this. Mark.
