Hi, BFD is supported (ie: not filtered) by FreeBSD: you just need to use a BFD daemon software. If your question was "Does FreeBSD includes a BFD daemon into base?", the answer is no. Main usage of BFD is to detect network failure between routing peers and give this information to the routing protocol. As example, once an OSPF process detect new neighbours, it will sent their IP addresses to the BFD process: Once received, the BFD process will monitor the reachability of these neighbours and will communicate back to the OSPF process if they are not reachable. But I'm not aware of a standard way for an "independent" bfd daemon to communicate between all the routing softwares (bird, FRR, quagga, etc.): This is why they includes their own BFD daemon (like bird).
