Hi All,
After IEEE 802.3ah clause 57 (Ethernet OAM), what is the plan of BFD on
ethernet
physical links?
>From BFD base draft:
However, there are media that do not provide this kind of signaling (such
as
Ethernet), and some media may not detect certain kinds of failures in the
path,
for example, failing interfaces or forwarding engine components.
And from description of working group (ref. IETF web site):
Topics for Possible Future Work:
1. Document BFD directly over 802.3 in close collaboration and
synchronization
with the IEEE.
Please clarify. Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bikram.
