[c-nsp] BFD + static routes (object tracking?)

[Pekka Savola]

Hi,

Sorry for hijacking this thread -- but I wonder if BFD + static routes 
(with or without object tracking) is still unimplemented?

Given that you'll also need to bring down the routes on the other 
side, IP SLA + object tracking isn't as useful in many scenarios..
