BFD w/ static routes and single-hop eBGP

[Pekka Savola <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

I still want to see the details of BFD with:
  - single-hop static routes
  - single-hop eBGP

.. in some document.  At the last meeting, David said that he didn't 
believe these are necessary as the bfd-generic-01 doc includes this 
information but I disagree.  Even if the details are trivial (they may 
or may not be), as an operator I think it's vital to see them spelled 
out anywhere so that we can point vendors to a specific section of a 
spec in CFTs and ensure the protocols will be interoperable.

I suggest a section or two either in the main body of the spec or in 
an appendix either in draft-ietf-bfd-v4v6-1hop or 
draft-ietf-bfd-generic.

All of this would likely fit in one or two pages -- and if not, that 
would be even stronger reason that those details must be written out. 
At least one deployed implementation of static routes + BFD already 
exists.
