Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring BFD
Configuring BFD
The Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) Protocol quickly detects forwarding-path failures for a variety of media
types, encapsulations, topologies, and routing protocols. It operates in a unicast, point-to-point mode on top of any data
protocol being forwarded between two systems to track IPv4 connectivity between directly connected neighbors. BFD
packets are encapsulated in UDP packets with a destination port number of 3784 or 3785.
In EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF deployments, the closest alternative to BFD is the use of modified failure-detection
mechanisms. Although reducing the EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF timers can result in a failure-detection rate of 1 to 2 seconds,
BFD can provide failure detection in less than 1 second. BFD can be less CPU-intensive than the reduced timers and,
because it is not tied to any particular routing protocol, it can be used as a generic and consistent failure detection
mechanism for multiple routing protocols.
