Re: WG Adoption for draft-chen-bfd-unsolicted

["Naiming Shen (naiming)" <[e-mail]>]

Les,

Just to clarify. There is not a “this issue”, there are multiple issues;-)

I think you are referring to the case of static routing BFD usage without requiring
the neighbor to install a bogus static route towards us.

But the main application here is in the public peering site, the BFD sessions can
be setup dynamically using this draft to avoid black hole traffic, the BGP peering
relation (needs configuration) is only with the RR server.

Regards,
- Naiming
