Technical Summary
This document provides various use cases and related requirements
for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) such that extensions
could be developed to allow for simplified detection of forwarding
failures.
Working Group Summary
The use cases are seen to enable the use of core BFD technologies in
a fashion that leverages existing implementations and protocol machinery
while providing a simplified and largely stateless infrastructure for
continuity testing. While there were no objections for publishing this
document, the WG also didn't show significant interest in it.
Document Quality
This document describes use cases. In general, the quality of the
descriptions is good.
