The BFD protocol has you check the contents over the BFD PDU. In the case of an expanded IP payload, this procedure wasn't expected to be modified. Thus, the crypto load should not increase. Covering some of the other comments, the pps of the BFD session need not increase, alhtough the bps increases. Scaling is thus a matter of how the implementation handles scaled bps vs. pps for its BFD implementation. -- Jeff
