Hi Greg and all,


I just have quick review on the drafts. If my understanding is correct, the 
idea is to use multicast destination address other than unicast address when  
sending BFD packets over LAG links. And actually this idea has been proposed in 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chen-bfd-interface-00 (the predecessor of RFC 
7130). And at that time, the co-authors of RFC 7130 did discuss the idea of 
using multicast destination address, but for some reason I forget now(I may 
need to reiterate the discussions on the archive), the idea was abandoned, 
although I still think multicast destination address is a smart idea.



Best regards,

Mach

Subject: Two new drafts on (micro-)BFD over MC-LAG interfaces

Dear All,
two new drafts, related to RFC 7130, were published before the meeting:

*         BFD on MC-LAG interfaces in IP 
network<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tanmir-rtgwg-bfd-mc-lag-ip-00>

*         BFD on MC-LAG interfaces in IP/MPLS 
network<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tanmir-rtgwg-bfd-mc-lag-mpls-00>

Greatly appreciate your reviews, comments, questions and suggestions.

Regards,
        Greg
