BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) is a protocol used to detect link failures between two forwarding engines, such as routers or switches. BFD control packets are exchanged between the two forwarding engines at a set interval to determine if the link is still operational.
When determining if a system is capable of supporting BFD, there are several time intervals that need to be considered.
Desired Min TX Interval: This is the minimum interval between BFD control packets that a system wants to transmit. It is configured on the system and sent to the remote system in the control packet.
Detect Mult: This is the Detection Time Multiplier, which is a value sent in the BFD control packet that determines the minimum time required between packets for a system to declare a link down. It is configured on the system and sent to the remote system in the control packet. The actual time required for a system to declare a link down is the product of the Detect Mult value and the Required Min RX Interval.
Required Min RX Interval: This is the minimum interval between BFD control packets that a system is capable of receiving. It is configured on the remote system and sent to the local system in the control packet.
Required Min Echo RX Interval: This is the minimum interval between BFD echo packets that a system is capable of receiving. It is configured on the remote system and sent to the local system in the echo packet. Echo packets are used to verify that a system is still alive, but they are not used to detect link failures.
To determine if a system is capable of supporting BFD, the Desired Min TX Interval and Required Min RX Interval must be compared to ensure that the system can send and receive BFD control packets at the desired interval. Additionally, the product of the Detect Mult value and the Required Min RX Interval must be less than the Desired Min TX Interval to ensure that a link failure can be detected within the desired time frame.
Therefore, the minimum time spacing required for a BFD control packet to be received once a control packet is arrived is the Required Min RX Interval.
