Hi Les, I agree with you that mechanisms like dampening and hold-down are best achieved at the lowest levels (in this case in the monitoring protocol like BFD) instead of in each routing protocol on the top. Now whether this means we include/support the signaling of the parameters for these

Hi Robert, The draft text refers to dampening and hold-down. The latter can be used also for the initial session bring-up. The descriptions of those BFD mechanisms are outside the scope of this document. If this needs to be standardized at the IETF, then (IMHO) it would be best taken up in the

Hi Ketan Minor cleanup on my part with normative language SHOULD to MUST. This is critical as we want to make sure interoperability works and no wiggle room or loopholes in misinterpretation of the specification. The main motivation is to fix the problem with OSPF starting before BFD to be

Hi Les, > the way to address that is to put a delay either before BFD attempts to bring up a new session No this will not work. The BFD session must be fully up and BFD has to have a chance for normal operation for X units of time. (By normal I mean with existing or new BFD extensions which is

Robert – Here is what you said (emphasis added): But the timer I am suggesting is not related to BFD operation, but to OSPF (and/or ISIS). It is not about BFD sessions being UP or DOWN. It is about allowing BFD for more testing (with various parameters (for example increasing test packet

Hi Aijun, There is a need for a BFD session to be established between neighboring routers which directly forward data between them to ensure reachability between them. That is my understanding of various implementations and deployments at operators. This is independent of the strict mode of

Hi Muthu, Thanks for your review and your support. Regarding your question, I would like to clarify that this document doesn't specify BFD operations with OSPF. That was done by RFC5882. Indeed for virtual links, there would need to be a BFD multi-hop session and the same would apply to p-t-p

I feel it is better to keep the standard simple and not add timer delay as part of BFD strict draft, as different customers may have different requirements, and there may also be vendor/platform dependency. For example, in the core where there are a lot of link redundancy/diversity, we could
