Authors, We seem to have pretty clear consensus that this work is useful and should be adopted by the BFD Working Group.
Please re-submit the document as draft-ietf-bfd-unaffiliated-echo. There's also the start of good discussion on issues in the document. Please continue to address those. -- Jeff On Tue, Aug 04, 2020 at 09:15:49AM -0400, Jeffrey Haas wrote: > Working Group, > > https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-cw-bfd-unaffiliated-echo/ > > At the virtual IETF 108, Unaffiliated BFD Echo Function was presented.
