If you have an Ethernet that is not carrying IP, and want to use BFD you could still wrap the BFD in IP, and pull those packets off by recognising the IP Ethertype. No other protocol on the wire can be using that Ethertype, so there is no ambiguity. You no need to send the payload to an IP handler if there is no IP, just treat the IP as opaque data. If you do have IP on the Ethernet and want to check before the packet gets to the IP handler you could use a well-known IP address and pull those packets off first as a special case. - Stewart Sent from my iPad > On 11 Jun 2019, at 08:04, Schwarz Albrecht (ETAS/ESY1) <Albrecht.Schwarz@etas.com> wrote: > > Thanks Sasha, > understood.

OK, understood, more a technology ownership question (IEEE 802 vs IETF) than a technical issue. Running BFD directly over Ethernet would (at least) require to assign an Ethertype codepoint (https://www.iana.org/assignments/ieee-802-numbers/ieee-802-numbers.xml ) for BFD. But BFD-over-Ethernet seems to be then in direct competition with the IEEE 802.1ag defined OAM capabilities (guess the Connectivity Fault Management protocols), i.e., the IEEE Continuity Check protocol. My rough understanding. Thanks again!

During the work for BFD for LAG, IETF already went a bit too close to stepping into IEEE territory. Raw BFD over Ethernet would not be received very well by that organization, I think.
