BFD is a control function by definition, but is executed on the line card.
Is it in the data plane or the control plane?
A label action that causes a second lookup may occur in one pass or
may require to recirculate the packet for a second pass.
To walk the list of extension headers to find the TCP ports to run an ACL
may be done inline or require more passes.
How slow is the slow path?

Regards,
Jakob.

I think its used pretty consistently throughout the industry.
If you have an example of a router that has something other vendors
would call slowpath but calls it differently, i would be interested to
know such alternative terms.

Definitely agreed if something is really specific to a subset of vendors
instead of the most widely used term. I think its the most widely used term.

I think the same applies here as what i said above for slow/fast path.

Btw: these are just comments about my best understanding about terminology.
Not an endorsement to base any upcoming work on those terms. I already
sent emails as to the opposite.

Do you have a good definition for control-plane and data-plane processing ?
E.g.: inband-signaling, is that decidedly control-plane for data-plane
to you ?

Cheers
