I agree. Thanks Les for the reference to RFC 5882. Thanks, Acee

If BFD shares fate w the control plane then the behavior depends on the neighbor knowing that a restart is in progress. If neighbor knows this then the BFD down event can be ignored w minimal risk – otherwise you need to treat it as a real failure.

So ideally it is recommended to tear down OSPF adjacency and signal topology change, and thus honor BFD notification in this case.

However, given that the intension is that the data plane is preserved during restart, an implementation could interpret this as a topology change and terminate helper mode as documented in section 3.2 of RFC 3623.

OSPF router in helper mode will ideally inactivate the restarting neighbor only after grace period, and if BFD notifies neighbor down to OSPF, should the adjacency be terminated? If not, will it cause a blackhole for the entire grace period if the neighbor is actually down? Appreciate if you can help here. Regards, Anil
