The IESG has received a request from the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection WG (bfd) to consider the following document: - 'Unsolicited BFD for Sessionless Applications' <draft-ietf-bfd-unsolicited-10.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2022-11-14. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract For operational simplification of "sessionless" applications using Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), in this document we present procedures for "unsolicited BFD" that allow a BFD session to be initiated by only one side, and established without explicit per- session configuration or registration by the other side (subject to certain per-interface or global policies). We also introduce a new YANG module to configure and manage "unsolicited BFD". The YANG module in this document is based on YANG 1.1 as defined in RFC 7950 and conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) as described in RFC 8342. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bfd-unsolicited/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
