Abstract:
This document describes an optimization to BFD Authentication as
described in Section 6.7 of BFD RFC 5880. It provides procedure
where only important BFD state transitions require strong
authentication and permits the majority of BFD Control Packets to use
a less computationally intensive authentication mechanism. This
enables BFD to scale better when there is a desire to use strong
authentication.
