Abstract:
This document describes various use cases for a Seamless
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (S-BFD), and provides requirements
such that protocol mechanisms allow for a simplified detection of
forwarding failures.
These use cases support S-BFD, as a simplified mechanism to use
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) with large portions of
negotiation aspects eliminated, accelerating the establishment of a
BFD session. S-BFD benefits include quick provisioning as well as
improved control and flexibility to network nodes initiating the path
monitoring.
