Eastlake 3rd}, title = {{BFD for Multipoint Networks over Point-to-Multi-Point MPLS LSP}}, pagetotal = 12, year = 2024, month = mar, day = 2, abstract = {This document describes procedures for using Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for multipoint networks to detect data plane failures in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) point-to-multipoint (p2mp) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) and Segment Routing (SR) point-to- multipoint policies with SR-MPLS data plane. Furthermore, this document also updates RFC 8562 and recommends the use of an IPv6 loopback address (:::1/128) and discourages the use of an IPv4 loopback address mapped to IPv6. It also describes the applicability of LSP Ping, as in-band, and the control plane, as out-band, solutions to bootstrap a BFD session. It also describes the behavior of the active tail for head notification.}, }
