Abstract:
This document describes an experimental optimization to BFD
Authentication. It provides procedure where only important BFD state
transitions require strong authentication and permits the majority of
BFD Control Packets to use a less computationally intensive
authentication mechanism. This enables BFD to scale better when
there is a desire to use strong authentication.
