Hi all,

Would any of the esteemed OpenBSD developers be interested in adding support for BFD (Bidirectional Forward Detection) to OpenBSD.

The protocol itself seems pretty simple and provides a sub-second keep-alive mechanism to monitor links for routes. E.g. Upon BFD failure BGP or OSPF can be torn down etc thus allowing for sub-second re-convergence of i/eBGP!

I can only offer a crate of beer to anyone who has the skills and is willing :)

'+1's welcome from others who would be interested to show signs of support/interest..

Cheers, Andy.
