[j-nsp] BFD questions

[Scott Whyte]

Per http://www.apricot.net/apricot2004/doc/cd_content/23rd%20February%202004/13%20-%20MTP%20-%20Packet%20Voice%20Backbone%20Network%20Design%20-%20Matthew%20Kolon/Bidirectional_Forwarding.PDF,
what you are describing is BFD-over-IP.  I'm interested in
BFD-over-Ethernet.  If Juniper is going to invent terminology please
keep it consistent.

If anyone is using BFD I'd like to compare notes.
