The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bfd-seamless-base/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCUSS: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As S-BFD has no initiation process anymore it is not guarenteed that the receiver/responder actually exists. That means that packets could float (uncontrolled) in the network or even outside of the adminstrative domain (e.g. due to configuration mistakes). From my point of view this document should recommend/require two things: 1) A maximum number of S-BFD packet that is allow to be send without getting a response (maybe leading to a local error report). 2) Egress filtering at the adminstrative border of the domain that uses S-BFD to make sure that no S-BFD packets leave the domain.
