BFD over p2p transport links

2010-02-05 Thread Serge Vautour
Hello, I'm being asked to look into using BFD over our P2P transport links. Is anyone else doing this? Our transport links are all 10G Ethernet (LAN-PHY). There's no alarming inside of LAN-PHY like there is in SONET. The transport side should propagate a fiber break by stopping to send light

We run it on most 10G backbone (LAN-PHY) links. Hmm. Backbone L2 transport, or fiber/wave type transport? I'd be surprised to hear of people running it on dark-fiber-ish stuff. Both. For L2 transport through switches the usefulness is rather obvious. For WDM type transport because we're not

We use it on all of our links which are generally over our own DWDM/dark fiber network. All links are 10G LAN PHY. Our DWDM systems propagate link failures but one of the main reasons we implemented it was our router vendors did not drop link during reboots during software upgrades. GR
