Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
The Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol rapidly detects communication failures between two adjacent routers.
BFD replaces link-state detection mechanisms in existing routing protocols. It also provides a failure detection solution for links
with no routing protocols.
BFD provides forwarding-path failure detection in milliseconds instead of seconds. Because BFD is independent of routing
protocols, it provides consistent network failure detection. BFD eliminates multiple protocol-dependent timers and methods.
Networks converge is faster because BFD triggers link-state changes in the routing protocol sooner and more consistently.
BFD is a simple hello mechanism. Two neighboring routers running BFD establish a session using a three-way handshake. After
the session is established, the routers exchange periodic control packets at sub-second intervals. If a router does not receive a
hello packet within the specified time, routing protocols are notified that the forwarding path is down.
In addition, BFD sends a control packet when there is a state change or change in a session parameter. These control packets
are sent without regard to transmit and receive intervals in a routing protocol.
BFD is an independent and generic protocol, which all media, topologies, and routing protocols can support using any
encapsulation. OS10 implements BFD at Layer 3 (L3) and with User Datagram Protocol (UDP) encapsulation. BFD is supported
on static and dynamic routing protocols, such as VRRP, OSPF, OSPFv3, IS-IS, and BGP.
The system displays BFD state change notifications.
NOTE: BFD is only supported for the border gateway protocol (BGP).
