Hi Acee,
could you please help me to understand what you see in
draft-ietf-rtgwg-vrrp-p2mp-bfd
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-vrrp-p2mp-bfd/> as the
requirement for existence of p2mp-sr-tree between VRRP routers? IP
encapsulation of BFD Control packets is the same as of VRRP messages
described in Section 7.2 of RFC 9568
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9568> with only difference that
BFD uses UDP. What am I missing?

Regards,
Greg
