Dear Ashesh and team,

This is the first time I am posting to this list so please bear with me if I am in error....
I have a few comments/questions on your draft:


1)     Could you clarify if interop will be supported between these features and a BFD instantiation that does not support these features

2)     Can you specify that these features will be optional for an implementation and some method should be provided to turn this capability off if needed

3)     Can you clarify in the scope the relationship between the measurements that one would obtain with this method vs other traditional methods to measure such criteria (e.g., CFM, TWAMP).  My concern is if this feature produces measurements that are different from the traditional methods, then it would be difficult to reconcile them in a production environment

4)     How would this impact the scale of the BFD protocol?

Thanks

Kevin
