Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of bidirectional forwarding detection, in particular to a method and device for resetting a watchdog in multi-hop bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection). Background technique
[0002] An increasingly important feature of network equipment is that network equipment is required to quickly detect communication failures between adjacent systems, so that when a network equipment fails, an alternative channel can be established faster or switched to another link. The BFD protocol is an international standard protocol used to achieve fast detection. Two network devices periodically send detection packets on the bidirectional channel that establishes a session between them. If a network device does not receive If the detection packet of the peer device is detected, it is considered that a link failure occurs in the bidirectional channel between the two devices.
