Abstract:

   This document describes an experimental optimization to BFD
   Authentication.  This optimization enables BFD to scale better when
   there is a desire to use authentication where applying the same
   authentication mechanism to every BFD Control Packet may adversely
   impact performance.  This optimization partitions BFD Authentication
   into a more computationally intensive mechanism that is applied to
   BFD significant changes, and a less computationally intensive
   mechanism applied to the majority of BFD Control Packets.
