We generally don't offer customer's BFD over eBGP sessions. 
Then again, in the last 4 years or so, we've probably only 
had one request, and that didn't go through because the 
customer's router didn't have the requisite code.

We are, however, considering running BFD for eBGP with one 
of our customers that sends IPTv traffic into our Multicast 
network for onward delivery to their subscribers. Of course, 
IPTv is a much more sensitive application where we could 
make the exception, but otherwise wouldn't look at deploying 
it with ordinary customers.
