This document describes how application clients can request IP-based
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) sessions while either being
IP agnostic themselves or while dealing with IP unnumbered
interfaces.
A dedicated well-known multicast IP address 224.XXX.XXX.XXX is used
as the destination IP address of the BFD packets when running BFD for
interface. It allows for BFD sessions on interfaces that may have no
IP addresses, either because the interface is unnumbered or because
the layer 3 protocol status of the interfaces is not up yet.
One application of BFD for interface is to run BFD over LAG/Bundle
component links. An example will be given in this document.
