I recall a horror story at a regional meeting earlier in the year where an operator said running BFD on a 10Gbps-based LAG (JunOS) was bad for them because a failure of one link brought down the whole LAG from the perspective of the routing protocol, when BFD was enabled. I recall someone from Juniper saying they were aware about this issue, and didn't recommend BFD on LAG's at that time, but didn't stay long to finish the conversation. We haven't had to use LAG's on Juniper yet, so I can't speak to this, but it'd be nice to lab this in case you do. Cheers, Mark.
