PFE is an ambiguous term, it variably means NPU or LC CPU inside JNPR.

There are several places where you can run your keepalieve

a) RPD
b) RE PPMd
c) LC CPU PPMd
d) NPU (dispatch block in the LU/XL)

And it depends on config where you run it. Not every protocol can
register to all of these. But yes, BFD v4 can run as RE PPMd, LC CPU
PPMd and NPU.
