Hi Joel, thank you for your review and the pointed questions. Please find my answers, comments in-line and tagged GIM>>.

GIM>> I think that the DCI provider would not be able to instantiate a BFD session using VXLAN encapsulation and, possibly, monitor that VXLAN part of forwarding operates properly. Such BFD session may monitor the path between the two VTEP but, if there exists ECMP environment in the transport, ensuring that that BFD session follows the same path as VXLAN data may be challenging. > In other places it seems to be aimed at > monitoring individual VNIs. GIM>> The BFD session between VTEPs is not actually used to monitor the particular VNI but MAY be used to communicate, as concatenated path state signaling, the change of VNI state using the method described in Section 6.8.17 RFC 5880 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5880#section-6.8.17>. > This is made worse when the packet format is > laid out.

GIM>> Could you please point to the text which suggests that the BFD control packet is a tenant packet? Meant to be delivered to a tenant? > The IP address is > a tenant IP. GIM>> The explanation of the format states in regard to the inner IP header: IP header: Source IP: IP address of the originating VTEP. Destination IP: IP address of the terminating VTEP. But the diagram shows this as being the IP address of the > VTEP. Which is not a tenant entity. > > There is further confusion as to whether the processing is driven by > the VNI > the packet arrived with, or the VNI is ignored. > GIM>> The use of VNI is implementation specific. Section 6 states: 6. Use of the Specific VNI In most cases, a single BFD session is sufficient for the given VTEP to monitor the reachability of a remote VTEP, regardless of the number of VNIs in common. When the single BFD session is used to monitor the reachability of the remote VTEP, an implementation SHOULD choose any of the VNIs but MAY choose VNI = 0. > > > Minor Issues: > N/A > > Nits: N/A > >
