Abstract

This document explores the applicability of Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) in multipoint networks to enable sub-second convergence in the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) for determining the Active Router. Additionally, it defines extensions to bootstrap point-to-multipoint BFD sessions using an IPv4/IPv6 VRRP Advertisement message, and, thus, updates RFC 9568.
