A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection of the IETF. Title : Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (S-BFD) Use Cases Authors : Sam Aldrin Carlos Pignataro Greg Mirsky Nagendra Kumar Filename : draft-ietf-bfd-seamless-use-case-08.txt Pages : 15 Date : 2016-05-06 Abstract: This document describes various use cases for a Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (S-BFD), and provides requirements such that protocol mechanisms allow for a simplified detection of forwarding failures. These use cases support S-BFD, as a simplified mechanism to use Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) with large portions of negotiation aspects eliminated, accelerating the establishment of a BFD session. S-BFD benefits include quick provisioning as well as improved control and flexibility to network nodes initiating the path monitoring.
