Dear Authors, et al., thank you for this well-written document. The mechanism described in the draft is, in my opinion, useful and will save considerable efforts of the operator. I have several questions and comments listed below: - Would the introduction of Unsolicited mode make this draft updating RFC 5881? - I didn't find any new values of BFD parameters that distinguish an unsolicited BFD session from the "classic single-hop" session. Do you think such a distinction could be useful to an operator? - In Section 2 stated On the passive side, the "unsolicited BFD" SHOULD be configured explicitly on an interface. Does that imply that it MAY be configured node-wide? I think it would be helpful to explicitly list the alternative option. - The fourth paragraph in Section 2 explains the handling of the first BFD control packet with Your Discriminator == 0, i.e., "it does not find an existing session with the same source address". What happens if the matching BFD session has been found? - A BFD session then created "based on the source address and destination address". Does that mean that there will be only one session with the same source address despite different destination addresses listed? If that is the case, could the BFD session be associated only with the source IP address of the received BFD control packet? - Between creating the BFD session (above) and It would then start sending the BFD Control packets and perform necessary procedure for bringing up, maintaining and tearing down the BFD session. the local BFD system assigns My Discriminator to the session. Though it is standard (RFC 5880) step, it might be useful to mention it. - Does "an established BFD session goes down" mean the state is Down and only Down or it also includes AdminDown state? - Furter stated the passive side would stop sending BFD Control packets and delete the BFD session created until the BFD Control packets is initiated by the active side again. Probably some normative language be helpful to replace "would". And is the stop applied immediately or after some grace period? The same question about the deletion of BFD parameters and the FSM (probably this is left to the implementation). - I'd admit got confused by the last paragraph in Section 2: The "Passive role" may change to the "Active role" when a local client registers for the same BFD session ... Is it normative MAY? Does that mean that the unsolicited BFD cannot be in passive role if it has a local client registered? But what I wonder is how these transitions affect the operation. What happens if both BFD systems are passive after changes in the clients registered? Or both are active? - Section 5.1 appears to only RECOMMEND setting TTL to 255 while RFC 5881 says that TTL MUST be set to 255. What could be the case for not setting TTL to 255? - Nits: - s/"Discriminator"/"My Discriminator" - s/does not initiates/does not initiate/ - s/"remote-discriminator"/"Your Discriminator"/ Regards, Greg On Tue, Aug 4, 2020 at 6:10 AM Jeffrey Haas <jhaas@pfrc.org> wrote: > Working Group, > > https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bfd-unsolicited/ > > With apologies to the authors of BFD unsolicited, this document is past due > for Working Group Last Call.
