Jeff/Albert -

Thanx for the updated version. This addresses my concerns.

A couple of modest comments.

1)Section 3.4

s/that balacing/that balancing


2)Regarding S-BFD (Section 3.5)

It would seem difficult to support (for a given discriminator) some sessions 
using large packets and some not. I  can think of a few options:

a)Passive end uses large packets only if the Active end does. This assumes MTU 
is the same in both directions.
b)A separate discriminator is used for large packet sessions
c)Use of large packets is always on (or always off) on the passive side

Probably there are other choices.

What did you have in mind? I think adding some guidance in that regard might be 
useful.

> Abstract:
>    The Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol is commonly
>    used to verify connectivity between two systems.  BFD packets are
>    typically very small.  It is desirable in some circumstances to know
>    that not only is the path between two systems reachable, but also
>    that it is capable of carrying a payload of a particular size.  This
>    document discusses thoughts on how to implement such a mechanism
>    using BFD in Asynchronous mode.
