Q

OSPF and BFD

A

Detects an outage between two adjacent devices.

Layer 1 mechanisms are unreliable in detecting the loss of a link or neighbouring device, e.g. WAN or switch between peers goes down.

L3 protocols use hello mechanism to detect the loss of a neighbor to acheive fast convergence.

BFD provides sub second failure detection between two adjacent devices.

Q

BFD Neighbor Session

A

OSPF discovers a neighbour.

OSPF sends a request to the local BFD process to initiaite a BFD neighbor session with the OSPF neighbor router.

The BFD neighbor session with the OSPF neighbor router is established.

Q

BFD OSPF Convergence

A

A failure occurs in the network

The BFD neighbor session with the OSPF neighbor router is torn down.

BFD notifies the local OSPF process that the BFD neighbor is no longer reachable.

The local OSPF process tears down the OSPF neighbor relationship.
