Hi, Greg,

It would be useful to understand uses of BFD Echo for on-demand scenarios.

It’s not clear how that would be:

   When a system is using the Echo function, it is advantageous to
   choose a sedate reception rate for Control packets, since liveness
   detection is being handled by the Echo packets.  This can be

Thanks,

Hi Jeff,
I'll be glad to put couple slides to help jumstart the discussion on BFD Echo.

Regards,

Greg,

Our schedule is relatively open right now, and this matter is esoteric
enough that it probably warrants a slide for the majority of the Working
Group to follow this issue.  Would you prepare a slide or two to use as a
discussion point?

I'll also use this opportunity to point out that in S-BFD scenarios, we have
somewhat similar ambiguities since it's an on-demand service.
