Abstract:
This document describes an experimental optimization to BFD
Authentication. It provides a procedure where 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.
