Re: [j-nsp] Optimal BFD settings for BGP-signaled VPLS?

Thanks for the responses thus far concerning BFD for BGP-signaled VPLS. Some have asked about using RSVP: we originally set out to use RSVP, but we ran into a number of bugs/issues in our environment. We aren't able to take advantage of all of the "bells and whistles" with RSVP anyway, and L

Hi, What i gather is that you have LDP implemented in MPLS level and edge routers are dual homed with core routers, why not consider running LDP over RSVP, RSVP LSPs will only be per link LSPs between P-PE links. RSVP will provide sub second failure times and no need for a dirty full meshed RSVP s

If BGP stability is the main goal, do not use BFD with your BGP sessions. Are you using site multi-homing with the connected CE devices or are they all single-homed? I don't know your topology but there may be some instances where you would want to run BFD for BGP notification with multi-homing.

2011-01-14 Thread Clarke Morledge
I am trying to determine the optimal Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) settings for BGP auto-discovery and layer-2 signaling in a VPLS application. To simplify things, assume I am running LDP for building dynamic-only LSPs, as opposed to RSVP. Assume I am running IS-IS as the IGP with
