[j-nsp] BFD advice

[Rafal Szarecki (WA/EPO)]

I was paly with BFD in _lab env._ only, but I have no problems with interval at few ms level. I do this year ago in lab test in Bulgaris togheder with BTC. As fare as I remember we was observe low the 30ms restoration in our lab network.

Person responsible from BTC for this tests was Nedialko Dimitrov (from BTC - your colegue). Test cases e.g. 001.001.001 , 001.001.003.

If you look for fast convergency BFD helps to detect link failure, but then normal IS-IS/OSPF process start. To squize time I suggest to tune also SFP-delay parameter under [edit protocols isis]. (JUNOS 7.3 default 200ms, RFC standart 1s, minimum 50ms)

If you need experts support you can contact with local Ericsson office.
