Hi Nobo,

The echo proposal doesnt make any sense. I thought the one with carrying
some info as part of the the UDP or the IP payload made some.

Having spent countless number of hours debugging a "BFD flap" i would
definitely like to have a std-track mechanism that aids me in debugging the
root cause.

Cheers, Manav
