Abstract:
This document specifies an extension to the Bidirectional Forwarding
Detection (BFD) protocol that enables the use of the BFD Echo
function without the need for an associated BFD control session.
This "Unaffiliated BFD Echo" mechanism allows rapid detection of
forwarding path failures in networks where establishing BFD control
sessions is impractical or undesirable. By decoupling the Echo
function from the control plane, network devices can utilize BFD's
fast failure detection capabilities in a simplified manner, enhancing
network resiliency and operational efficiency.
This document updates RFC 5880 by defining a new Unaffiliated BFD
Echo mechanism.
