Hi Aijun, There is a need for a BFD session to be established between neighboring routers which directly forward data between them to ensure reachability between them. That is my understanding of various implementations and deployments at operators. This is independent of the strict mode of operation.
Perhaps you have a different requirement for "optimization of BFD sessions on multi-access networks"? If so, it would be clearer if you could put that requirement/proposal together as a draft for the WG to review. Also, that would be in any way independent of this specification since what you are referring to is the base use of BFD by OSPF.
