- Extend BFD for proactive Connection Verification and Reverse Defect
Indication
- Remain Backwards Compatible
- Specify Interoperability

- Continuity Check: monitors the integrity of the continuity of the path;
- Connectivity Verification: monitors the integrity of the routing of the
path between sink and source
- Detect unintended connectivity (e.g. mismerging or misconnection)
- RDI: enable an End Point to report a fault or defect condition that it
detects on a PW, LSP or Section
- MUST operate proactively for:
- bidirectional and unidirectional p2p
- unidirectional p2mp connection

- CC and RDI are supported by base BFD
- RDI is simply a mapping of specific BFD diagnostics
- Open Issue: There are scenarios where CC/CV may not be running and RDI
must be sent
- MPLS-TP specifies constraints on default configuration for timer values
and detect multiplier
- No changes to the BFD state machine
- Operating mode is Asynchronous
|
6
|
- Two modes of operation
- CC
- Existing ACH codepoint (0x0007) - BFD w/o IP/UDP
- Supports CC & RDI
- CV
- New ACH codepoint
- Supports CV & RDI
- Both apply to PWs, MPLS LSPs (including tandem connection monitoring),
and sections
|
7
|
- New ACH codepoint
- Header contains the Source MEP Identifier (unique per transport path)
- Session will not come up if the expected MEP-ID is not received
- The BFD control packet format is identical to CC mode
- The BFD session is declared Down if an unexpected MEP identifier is
received (mis-connectivity defect)
|

|
- BFD timer values are set as follows
- The configured packet transmission is carried in “Desired Min TX
Interval field”
- Timer and detect multiplier re-negotiation is optional and disabled by
default
- Active Role is default, passive is optional
- Bidirectional p2p settings:
- “Required Min RX Interval field”
MUST be the same as “Desired Min TX Interval field”
- Unidirectional p2p and p2mp session
MUST set the “Required Min RX Interval field“ to 0
- The session will NOT reach UP if expected timers values and detect
multiplier are not the same

|
- Resolve open issues
- Merge the 2 drafts to draft-asm-mpls-tp-bfd-cc-cv and ask for workgroup
adoption..
