Hi all, Now I implement BFD(Bi-directional Forwarding Detection) with linux kernel-land software, which name is kbfd. And I also prepared a patch for zebra-0.95a to control and synchronize with kbfd. Please check below page, and try kbfd. #This is very very alpha release. It has a lot of problems, but it works. http://kbfd.sourceforge.net/ Currently, it is supported only ospfd, ospf6d, bgpd. Usually, BFD is implemented on hardware like FPGA, but kbfd is software implementation. So, performance is not good(jitter, task scheduling). But I think that BFD is a technology not only for rich router, but also any network situation(PC to default-router, Wireless-Node, any tunneled-communication). That is my motivation for BFD software implementation. All your feedback and comments would be appreciated. regards, hajime
