I feel like this is so obvious that I must still be misunderstanding you.

Why is it ok for N * multi-hop sessions to run over this crappy-link at 
millisecond rates, but *not* ok for a single link local session to do the same?

Thanks,
Chris.

Hi Les,


You seem to be suggesting that multi-hop BFD could be more
aggressive in failure detection than single hop BFD in 

the presence of some link with slow single hop BFD timers.

This makes no sense to me. In order to avoid false failure reports,
the multi-hop BFD session has to allow for IGP FRR > to occur, which
means it cannot be more aggressive than worst case link protection
mechanisms for the links which 

may be used to reach the multi-hop destination.


Not quite. 

Your and Chris comment is correct when both links connecting such PE
would be having the same metric and would be equal class citizens as
far as IGP connectivity to PE. 

This is however not the case I am presenting. 

To illustrate further: 

Good link PE-P has BFD timbers 10 ms x 3 = 30 ms 
Bad link has timers 2 s x 3 = 6 sec detection. 

Good link is always preferred IGP wise. 

So when bad link fails and good link is ok - no false positive is
triggered. 

When good link fails multihop session must be just slower then this
link so it's timers would be 20 ms x 3 = 60 ms. 

When bad link remains the only one active multihop will detect the PE
down 100 times faster ! 

But this would affect multi-hop BFD as well as single hop BFD.

Not if multihop BFD is going to RP/RE. Perhaps some vendors can
handle it on LCs. 

And, I would argue, your issue is really with the vendor who ships
such a product which 
has a serious functionality gap.

I would not be that fast. PEs today are compute nodes and I am yet to
see distributed BFD supported on the NICs. 

Many thx !
Robert

    Robert –

     

    I continue to be a bit unclear on the relevance of the points you
    are making.

    And I do want to express my agreement with the points Peter and
    Chris have made.

     

    In that vein, some top posted comments.

     

    You seem to be suggesting that multi-hop BFD could be more
    aggressive in failure detection than single hop BFD in the

    This makes no sense to me. In order to avoid false failure

    occur, which means it cannot be more aggressive than worst case
    link protection mechanisms for the links which may be used to
    reach the multi-hop destination.

     

    You also seem to be concerned about headless Line Cards
    continuing to maintain BFD sessions even after control plane
    failures.

    But this would affect multi-hop BFD as well as single hop BFD.

    And, I would argue, your issue is really with the vendor who
    ships such a product which has a serious functionality gap.

     

    Finally, I am not certain you are saying this – but you seem to
    be saying that BFD itself does not tell you whether the BFD
    client is fully sane. This I agree with – but again it applies to
    Multi-hop BFD as well as single hop BFD.

     

    Thanx.

     

        Les

    Yes. That is exactly the case. What is however missing in your
    picture is that UPA is not only about signalling that all links
    to a node went down. 

     

    UPA is also about signalling node down while links are still up -
    continue responding to BFD in the line cards. 

     

    See what we need here is not a signalling moment when all peers
    of PE see all links to it going down. What is really needed is to
    signal when such PE can not perform its service function any
    more. And that BFD to interfaces will not tell you. 

     

     

    > Why would you do that? In fact you're defeating a fundamental
    scaling aspect of link-state protocols here.

     

    Since I have no physical alternative to use as backup other then
    crappy carrier's backup link. 

     

     

    >  Now you have N multi-hop BFDs sessions (one per ABR) running

    As mentioned it is still not the same. BFDs on the link tell me
    that link is up and part of the line card responder to BFD is
    alive. 

     

    Multihop BFD sessions will tell me that PE is up or down and that
    at least one connection to it is still up. That is subtle but
    there is an important difference. 

     

     

    > If your (possible multiple sessions of) multi-hop BFD can be
    sent over this "slow link" at fast rate X then why not do it just
    once using a link local BFD session at the same rate instead?

     

    As described, BFD over a link is not the same as BFD to the
    node. 

     

     

    And to project a bigger picture why I asked this ... 

     

    If I would do the fast signalling of PE going down in BGP RRs
    would likely have some form of detecting PE liveness anyway.
    Multihop BFD could be one such option. So I was thinking 

    if the same can be done with IGP detection wise. 

     

    Note also that there are folks who do recommend PE to PE full
    mesh of BFD. That orders of magnitude more BFD sessions then
    within an area. 

     

    Many thx,

    R.

        First, I don't like any of these unreachable things, and so I
        don't want my comment to reflect in any way on them one way
        or the other.

        On a more fundamental level though, I don't see why Peter's
        answers are not sufficient here. In particular, unless I am
        misunderstanding your scenario it seems ... unrealistic --
        but maybe I've missed something.

        It seems you saying use multi-hop BFD for fast detection b/c
        you've gone and configured one of those same hops along the
        multi-hop path to an incredibly slow link-local BFD rate in
        comparison to the BFD multi-hop rate. Why would you do that?
        In fact you're defeating a fundamental scaling aspect of
        link-state protocols here. Now you have N multi-hop BFDs
        sessions (one per ABR) running over the link instead of just
        *1* session running on that link.

        If your (possible multiple sessions of) multi-hop BFD can be
        sent over this "slow link" at fast rate X then why not do it
        just once using a link local BFD session at the same rate
        instead?

        If you configure the "down-detect" timer to a slow rate, then
        it'll be slow detecting the link down. It's sort of
        tautological, right?

        Thanks,
        Chris.
