Thank you everyone for the replies on this topic. For us, we would rather keep a link down longer when it has an issue and goes down than to have it come back up and then go down again. This is because the flapping is very destructive to live video and VoIP. Having several diverse backbone

BFD holddown is the right feature for this. WARNING: BFD holddown is known to be problematic between Juniper and Cisco implementations due to where each start their state machines for BFD vs. BGP. It was a partial motivation for BGP BFD strict:

Hello Lee, at least for link flapping issues (but not other session flapping reasons) you could set the hold-time: set interfaces xy hold-time up 30 This would delay the link to come up. kind regards Rolf On 27/04/2024 12:34, Sean Clarke via juniper-nsp wrote: Hi Lee Would Flap
