Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
RFC 7880, “Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2016 by C. Pignataro, D. Ward, N. Akiya, M. Bhatia, S. Pallagatti. It updates RFC 5880. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (S-BFD), a simplified mechanism for using BFD with a large proportion of negotiation aspects eliminated, thus providing benefits such as quick provisioning, as well as improved control and flexibility for network nodes initiating path monitoring.
This document updates RFC 5880.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
