Abstract:
This document describes an experimental optimization to BFD
Authentication. This optimization enables BFD to scale better when
there is a desire to use authentication where applying the same
authentication mechanism to every BFD Control Packet may adversely
impact performance. This optimization partitions BFD Authentication
into a more computationally intensive mechanism that is applied to
BFD significant changes, and a less computationally intensive
mechanism applied to the majority of BFD Control Packets.
