Hi :Peter, Thanks for the update. I agree that portable version doesn’t make sense here.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hi, You may have noticed that our BFD implementation is not enabled, and that is because it is not yet finished. Multi-hop support is one of the things that is on a TODO list, but there is no intention on working on that feature in the near future. Additionally, there is no intention of making a portable version of this. It is primarily a kernel implementation, so a portable version wouldn't make sense. -peter On 2022 Nov 02 (Wed) at 19:49:09 +0000 (+0000), Nallan Chakravarthy, Sudarshan wrote: :Hello OpenBSD Team, :I’m Sudarshan, a software developer at NetApp. cc’d are my colleagues at NetApp. :I have been going through OpenBSD’s BFD implementation<https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/7853af7355314b198e29153656858f98a017f6c9/sys/net/bfd.c> with an intention of using :it for one of our use cases.
