Hi Carlos,






My answers to your two questions are as follow:


In section 6.6 of RFC5880, just after the text you quoted, it says "One possible mechanism is the receipt of traffic from the remote system; another is the use of the Echo function." So I'm not sure what's your real concern.


In the abstract of this draft it says "This document describes procedures for using Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) in Demand mode to detect data plane failures in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) point-to-point Label Switched Paths." If you don't like the expression form of the text quoted by you, pls feel free to propose some text.






Best Regards,


Xiao Min

Xiao, 
Scanning through the draft, two questions:
 
1. What is the underlying mechanism to check liveness such that Demand can be used?
 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5880#section-6.6
 

   Demand mode requires that some other mechanism is used to imply

   continuing connectivity between the two systems.  The mechanism used
 

2. Is this draft testing liveness of a path or a node?
 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mirsky-bfd-mpls-demand-03#section-3
 

   In this state BFD peers MAY remain as long as the egress LER is in Up

   state.  The ingress LER MAY check liveness of the egress LER by

   setting the Poll flag.  The egress LER will respond by transmitting
 

 


Thanks,

I support WG adoption of this draft. Use of the demand mode for p2p LSP monitoring is feasible and required.
