Hi Randy,
thank you for the quick response to my question. BFD monitors path
continuity at the layer 3, though there's BFD over LAG that picks into the
layer 2. One cannot differentiate between liveness of the remote system and
availability of the path between two systems. If we are not interested
whether packets from the particular source and only that source received,
then we use path continuity check protocol. BFD is the example of the CC
while CFM, Layer 2, is the connectivity verification.

Regards,
Greg
