Hi all,
Would any of the esteemed OpenBSD developers be interested in adding support
for BFD (Bidirectional Forward Detection) to OpenBSD.
The protocol itself seems pretty simple and provides a sub-second keep-alive
mechanism to monitor links for routes. E.g. Upon BFD failure BGP or OSPF can be
torn down etc thus allowing for sub-second re-convergence of i/eBGP!
I can only offer a crate of beer to anyone who has the skills and is willing :)
'+1's welcome from others who would be interested to show signs of
support/interest..
I still don't see how is this different from ifstated?
You can use it to ping your neighbour then issue bgpctl neighbor
$your_fallen_neighbour down command.
