Dear All, I have not set the when this poll closes. I hope that two weeks would be sufficient time for the WG community to express their thoughts.
Dear Carlos, thank you for sharing your opinion on the scope of the document in regard to BFD Echo mode. You've expressed support for exploring the applicability of the BFD Echo mode. Would you support that effort by contributing some text, if WG decides that documenting the applicability of the Echo mode in BFD over VXLAN is useful?
