This makes it possible to avoid blackholing scenarios when a BGP peer is not the BGP next-hop, especially on Internet eXchange Points (IXPs) when BGP Route-Servers are deployed. When they are configured with this mechanism, routers can automatically try to establish a new adjacency for every new BGP next-hop. BGP routes are then checked against the state of the BFD session for the corresponding next-hop. Foreword A placeholder to list general observations about this document.}, }
