For operational simplification of "sessionless" applications using
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), in this document, we
present procedures for "unsolicited BFD" that allow a BFD session to
be initiated by only one side and established without explicit
per-session configuration or registration by the other side (subject
to certain per-interface or global policies). 

We also introduce a new YANG module to configure and manage
"unsolicited BFD". The YANG module in this document is based on YANG
1.1, as defined in RFC 7950, and conforms to the Network Management
Datastore Architecture (NMDA), as described in RFC 8342. This
document augments RFC 9314.

This document is a product of the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
