Introduction OLD TEXT: This application of BFD is an extension to Multipoint BFD [I-D.ietf-bfd-multipoint], which allows tails to notify the head of the lack of multipoint connectivity. As a further option, heads can request a notification from the tails by means of a polling mechanism. Notification to the head can be enabled for all tails, or for only a subset of the tails. NEW TEXT: This application of BFD is an extension to Multipoint BFD [I-D.ietf-bfd-multipoint], which allows tails to notify the head of the lack of multipoint connectivity. As a further option, heads can request a notification from the tails by means of a polling mechanism. Notification to the head can be enabled for all tails, or for only a subset of the tails. In order to achieve that, among several updates to [I-D.ietf-bfd-multipoint], the new state variables and new values for existing variables has been added. Hope these address your comments.
