IS-IS BFD-Enabled TLV

Overview

RFC 6213, “IS-IS BFD-Enabled TLV”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2011 by C. Hopps, L. Ginsberg. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes a type-length-value (TLV) for use in the IS-IS routing protocol that allows for the proper use of the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol. There exist certain scenarios in which IS-IS will not react appropriately to a BFD-detected forwarding plane failure without use of either this TLV or some other method. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
