Re:BFD Echo mode coverage in BFD for VXLAN

[<[e-mail]>]

Hi Jeff,






I talked to implementor of my company, and I got the feedback that the provision of peer ip address is necessary, that means different ip address can be provisioned to different BFD session. As to VNI, there is no restriction on which VNI to choose. I guess this behavior is compiant with the current version of the draft.






Best Regards,


Xiao Min

Thanks for your commentary.

Also, as an implementor, does your implementation's bootstrapping for BFD
sessions follow the text that is in the current version of the
internet-draft?  There is some continuing debate holding up last call
comments on this point.
