That's how I read it ... assuming that proper handling of the LSR echo includes gracefully dropping it on rx.

Hi BFDers,

We met a multi-vendor interoperate issue recently, it's about whether an Echo reply is necessary.

In Section 6 of RFC5884, 2nd paragraph

"... The egress LSR MAY respond with an LSP Ping Echo
  reply message that carries the local discriminator assigned by it for
  the BFD session."

> From the above text, my understanding is that an Echo reply is optional, the egress LSR can freely to return or not return an Echo reply, and the Ingress LSR should not expect there MUST be an Echo reply, but if there is one, it should handle it properly.

Is my understanding correct? 

Thanks,
Mach
