Re: FW: New Version Notification for draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-00.txt

Authors,

The draft propose a automatic detection of VRRP Backup peers. Which is not
needed in every case. Backup Peers are well known and peer addresses often
follow operational/planning rules, eg. 1. IP of subnet VIP, 2. Master, 3.
Backup and maybe more. It should be described that a static configured peer
table could be a viable option to not increase overall overhead.

3) BACKUP ADVERTISEMENTs should not need to be send at same periodic rate
as the Master Advert packets. Master Advert packets could use a more
aggressive rate.

4) Peer table forming should be more precise, eg:
   a) Learning peer by BACKUP ADVERTISEMENT (or static) should add a peer.
   b) Removing from peer table by timeout ?
     a. What if BFD session already up?
   c) If a BFD session goes from UP to DOWN, the Peer Address should be
immediatley deleted from Peer Table

5) If you say Critical BFD Session you mean the top of an ordered peer
table descending sorted by priority. Peer table is not aware of the state,
only priority.
