Just out of curiosity, what are the port-channel on the 7200/7600 is used for?
Is it a point to point routed port, or with L2 VLANs switched on top of it?

I was just curious, because I would like to deploy BFD but I saw those
messages on my routers because the port-channels configurations and I
would like to know if it was supported in other train or something
similar.
