This document proposes a mechanism to run BFD on Link Aggregation
Group (LAG) interfaces. It does so by running an independent BFD
session on every LAG member link.
(For IP/UDP encapsulation)
A dedicated well-known multicast IP address for both IPv4 and IPv6 is
introduced as the destination IP address of the BFD packets when
running BFD on the member links of the LAG.
(For Ethernet encapsulation)
A new Ethernet type is introduced to send BFD packets directly in
Ethernet frames when running BFD on the member links of the LAG.
There is currently also no standard that describes how BFD runs on a
LAG interface as a whole. This draft proposes a definition for this
problem too while taking into consideration existing implementations.
