The BFD Protocol Benchmarking

- Esa Salahuddin
- Jay Karthik

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
- BFD is a protocol intended to detect faults in
the bidirectional path between two forwarding
engines. - Key Characteristics Simple, Low Latency,
Protocol Independence Path Independence - More details of BFD BFD WG page at
http//ietf.org/html.charters/bfd-charter.html
3
Why Benchmark the BFD?
- New, but popular as forwarding failures
detection mechanism - Potential to become the universal link failure
detection mechanism - Multiple parameters that affect the quality of
an implementation
4
Progress Made So Far!
- draft-salahuddin-bmwg-bfd-motivation-00 already
published to generate interest and develop
consensus on benchmarking the BFD protocol. - Idea supported by the BMWG members in general
thus far.
5
Next Steps
- Let the idea cook and consensus develop. Get
more reviews on this work from inside and outside
the BMWG. - Publish Motivation, Definitions Key Areas to
Benchmark and Benchmarking methodologies for
characterizing the BFD protocol in collaboration
with others.
