Hello,<br><br>First of all, thank you to all who responded privatly.<br><br>As a Follow up, Brocade has identified this as a DEFECT :<br><br>"I have gone through our knowledge base and I that there is a <b>defect000402393</b>. This defect states that BFD sessions keeps flapping for OSPF and BGP due to early detection timer expiry. This brings the protocol down and also flaps the protocol. Flapping is seen for BFD sessions setup between 4x10 and 8x10 modules. This will be fixed in SW release 5.400b.<br>
<br>As you are using ISIS as your IGP, this should not affect you. Clearly do that we have a problem with BFD. Please upgrade when this SW release become available."<br><br>I wasn't able to find this defect in the KB.<br>
<br>Let's see how this one will play out.<br><br>Regards.<br><br>Y.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/10/17 Youssef Bengelloun-Zahr <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:youssef@720.fr" target="_blank">youssef@720.fr</a>></span><br>

> How tight do you run your BFD timers? The defaults are rather too optimistic for the scheduler in Brocade's software and will lead to such flaps, in my experience.<br>
