BFD stability follow-up from IETF-91

[Jeffrey Haas <[e-mail]>]

draft-ashesh-bfd-stability-01 was presented again during IETF-91 in
Honolulu.  The slides can be viewed here:

http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/91/slides/slides-91-bfd-4.pptx

To attempt to simplify the presentation, the contentious portion of the
timers were removed from the proposal, leaving only the sequence numbering
for detecting loss of BFD async packets.

When the room was polled to see whether the draft should be adopted as a WG
item, the sense of the room was very quiet.  As promised, this is to inquire
for support for this draft on the WG mailing list to make sure the whole
group has a voice.

It should be noted that post-meeting discussion on the fate of this draft
noted that BFD authentication code points are plentiful and are available
with expert review.  Should the draft authors wish to continue this work as
Experimental, that is an option.
