Working Group,

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bfd-unaffiliated-echo/05/

The authors of draft-ietf-bfd-unaffiliated-echo have requested WGLC.

The draft, in my opinion, is in fairly good shape.  However, since it
functions via looping packets back to itself and trying to exercise the
normal RFC 5880 state machine behaviors to a large extent, the draft could
use very high scrutiny for several matters:

- Does the state machine behave appropriately at all stages?
- Are the descriptions of the values of the BFD fields clear in all cases?

Please supply the authors and the Working Group with your feedback.

The intended finish date for this WGLC is 7 April, 2023.  This is one week
after the end of IETF 116.

Note that Reshad is an author on the draft, so I'll be handling the full set
of review and shepherding work.
