The IESG has received a request from the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection WG (bfd) to consider the following document: - 'Unaffiliated BFD Echo' <draft-ietf-bfd-unaffiliated-echo-11.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2024-10-09. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is a fault detection protocol that can quickly determine a communication failure between two forwarding engines. This document defines a use of the BFD Echo where the local system supports BFD but the adjacent system does not support BFD. BFD Control packet and its processing procedures can be executed over the BFD Echo port where the adjacent system only loops packets back to the local system. This document updates RFC 5880. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bfd-unaffiliated-echo/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
