This version of the draft addresses concerns that were raised in IETF 92. The change is to carry a sequence number in every packet of BFD. Carrying a sequence number for authentication reasons is not new, but with selective authentication it helps detect MITM attack and has the benefit of detecting lost BFD frames.
As usual, comments are welcome.
