Tuning OSPF: Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)

Tuning OSPF Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)

BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) is a super fast protocol that is able to detect link failures within milliseconds or even microseconds.. All (routing) protocols have some sort of mechanism to detect link failures. OSPF uses hello packets and a dead interval, EIGRP uses hello packets and a holddown timer etc How it works? we discussed […]
