Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method and equipment for sending bidirectional forwarding detection messages. Background technique
[0002] In order to reduce the impact of network equipment failures on services and improve network availability, an increasingly important feature of network equipment is the ability to quickly detect communication failures between adjacent systems so that other paths can be established as soon as possible to ensure uninterrupted services.
[0003] Bidirectional forwarding detection (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection, referred to as BFD) is a method of link fault detection, providing low-load, fast failure detection between two various systems, including direct physical links, virtual circuits, tunnels , multi-hop routing paths, etc. BFD can also be understood as a simple "Hello" protocol, which is similar to the detection part of routing protocols in many respects. For example, BFD...
