echo packets have a similar format as BFD control packets with UDP port number 3785 except that the
Desired Min TX Interval and Required Min RX Interval fields are null. Figure 54 illu
strates the packet

5 Path Down.
6 Concatenated Path Down.

State (Sta)—Current BFD session state. Its value can be 0 for AdminDown, 1 for Down, 2 for Init,
and 3 for Up.
Poll (P)—If set, the transmitting system is requesting verification of connectivity, or of a parameter
change. If clear, the transmitting system is not requesting verification.
Final (F)—If set, the transmitting system is responding to a received BFD control packet that had the
Poll (P) bit set. If clear, the transmitting system is not responding to a Poll.
Control Plane Independent(C)—If set, the transmitting system's BFD implementation does not share
fate with its control plane. That is, BFD is implemented in the forwarding plane and can continue to
function through disruptions in the control plane. If clear, the transmitting system's BFD
implementation shares fate with its control plane.
Authentication Present (A)—If set, the Authentication Section is present and the session is to be
authenticated.
