Multiple BFD sessions over one path



Hi,

After reading the two drafts (draft-ietf-bfd-generic-05 and draft-ietf-bfd-v4v6-1hop-09), I have some confusion about the session limitation over a specific network-layer path.

Section 2 of draft-ietf-bfd-v4v6-1hop-09 says:
"Each BFD session between a pair of systems MUST traverse a separate network-layer path in both directions..."

But section 6 of draft-ietf-bfd-generic-05 says:
"...if multiple differentiated services [DIFFSERV] are being operated over IPv4, an independent BFD session may be run for each service level...", this implicates that there may be mulitiple BFD sessions over one network-layer(ipv4) path, but it seems that this is not allowed in draft-ietf-bfd-v4v6-1hop-09. How to understand this conflict? or do I miss something?

Best regards,
Mach Chen
