[c-nsp] 12.2(33)SRCx - Pseudo Pre-emption Handler - BFD Bug

[Raymond, Steven]

BFD has became unusable for us with SRC3 (coming from SRB3).  It misfires and falsely reports the BFD neighbor down several times per hour, sending waves of disruption across the network.

Thus far the only workaround is to disable BFD.  We thought it may be a return of CSCek71050 which abused us in SRB1 and caused strikingly similar problems.  But TAC has assured me they must be different causes.

Are your BFD problems causing only reboots, or BFD bounces followed by worse behavior?

Thanks
