I sent that email a bit early. I meant to say on the end that I think my original understanding of the poor Cisco documentation is correct, I just don't have it in official writing from Cisco but can reliably replicate it in the lab.. On 26 May 2016 at 16:36, James Bensley wrote: ... >From the

Hi All, On devices like the ASR9000s and ASR920s we have hardware acceleration for BFD echo mode and this works as expected. On platforms that do not have hardware support for BFD echo mode such as the ME3600X/ME3800X/7600 I am confused as to how I am getting low BFD interval times. Enabling echo
