    abstract =  {This document describes an optimization to BFD Authentication as described in Section 6.7 of BFD RFC 5880. It provides procedure where only important BFD state transitions require strong authentication and permits the majority of BFD Control Packets to use a less computationally intensive authentication mechanism. This enables BFD to scale better when there is a desire to use strong authentication.},
