Dear Greg,

The option of replacing the existing text for something more ambiguous and 
implicit does not seem like progress in my humble opinion. The spec ends up 
with the same capabilities, but the text is more obscure. I do not support that 
option.

My recommendation for your consideration would be:

  1.  Explore if it is possible to run BFD Echo as a single-hop.
  2.  If yes, add text supporting it.
  3.  If no, add text explaining why not on technical grounds.

A less desirable option would be if the WG does not care about BFD Echo, to 
explicitly keep it out of scope (not on technical grounds).

Best,

Carlos.

Dear All,
in course of reviews of the draft, several times a question was asked about the 
rationale for excluding BFD Echo from the scope of this document:

7.  Echo BFD

   Support for echo BFD is outside the scope of this document.
Much appreciate your consideration of the following options:

  *   describe the applicability of BFD Echo in VXLAN environment in the 
document;
  *   remove Section 7 and clarify in the Introduction

NEW TEXT:
This specification describes procedures only for BFD Asynchronous mode.

  *   make no changes at all.

Regards,
Greg
