IPv6 BGP maintains neighbor relationships based on the keepalive timer and holdtime timer, which are
set in seconds. IPv6 BGP defines that the holdtime interval must be at least three times the keepalive
interval. This mechanism makes the detection of a link failure rather slow and thus causes a large
quantity of packets to be dropped especially when the failed link is a high-speed link. You can enable
BFD to detect the link to a peer. BFD can quickly detect any link failure and thus reduce network
convergence time.
Before you configure BFD for IPv6 BGP, you must enable BGP.
For more information about BFD, see High Availability Configuration Guide.
