Hi Mach, et. al,
I recall that this question was discussed some time ago and the
clarification came from the original authors of the BFD protocol. The Echo
Reply is optional if there's no error to report. But if the remote LER,
acting as BFD node, does decide to send the Echo Reply it MUST send it

Hi Carlos,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
IMHO, it may not be necessary to consider this LSP Ping based bootstrapping as
normal LSP ping. And since both the ingress and egress LSR process the echo
messages in the context of BFD session establishment, it should be no problem
to process as de
I read it as Local discriminator assigned for a BDS session is optional in
echo reply that is being sent in response to LSP ping echo. I don't think

Greg,
I am sorry but I don't see how the paragraph supports what you say. Two issues:
1. LSP Ping is based on the Normative reference's spec, RFC 4379. It cannot go
against it unless it updates its behavior. The following text:
