Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection Use Cases
RFC 7882, “Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection Use Cases”, is an Informational document published in July 2016 by S. Aldrin, C. Pignataro, G. Mirsky, N. Kumar. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes various use cases for Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (S-BFD) and provides requirements such that protocol mechanisms allow for simplified detection of forwarding failures.
These use cases support S-BFD, which is a simplified mechanism for using BFD with a large proportion of negotiation aspects eliminated, accelerating the establishment of a BFD session. The benefits of S-BFD include quick provisioning, as well as improved control and flexibility for network nodes initiating path monitoring.
