BGP Link-State Extensions for Seamless BFD
draft-ietf-idr-bgp-ls-sbfd-extensions-01
Abstract
Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (S-BFD) defines a
simplified mechanism to use Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
with large portions of negotiation aspects eliminated, thus providing
benefits such as quick provisioning as well as improved control and
flexibility to network nodes initiating the path monitoring. The
link-state routing protocols (IS-IS and OSPF) have been extended to
advertise the Seamless BFD (S-BFD) Discriminators.
This draft defines extensions to the BGP Link-state address-family to
carry the S-BFD Discriminators information via BGP.
