[j-nsp] Too much packet loss during switchover on MPLS network

[Gökhan Gümüş]

Hi,

Actually customer BGP session is always up. I requested them to ping from
different servers to the same destination when i shut the interface down.All
of them had no reachability to the remote destinations.
Could it be possible to fix it with BFD?

Thanks,
Gokhan
