A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bfd-stability/ Technical Summary This document describes extensions to the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol to measure BFD stability. Specifically, it describes a mechanism for the detection of BFD packet loss. Working Group Summary The WG consensus represents the strong consensus of a few individuals. The document got WG attention during the initial phase of progression through the WG but then the engagement died down as there was not much active implementation interest.

There were no controversies or threat of appeals. Document Quality There are no known implementations. The work started as Proposed Standard and then was the track was changed by the WG to Experimental as the WG believes implementation experience was required to ensure maturity as a Proposed Standard.
