    摘要: Examples disclosed herein relate to a method comprising receiving requesting, at a first network device, a Bidirectional Forwarding Detection session with a second network device, determining, by the first network device, that the BFD session is for single hop data and determining, by the first network device, that the BFD session is over a network tunnel from the first network device to the second network device. The method may include initiating the BFD session between the first and second network devices, wherein the BFD session is shared between multiple clients requesting BFD sessions on a network tunnel, but is not shared not between tunneled and non-tunneled sessions between the multiple clients. The method may include transmitting, the single hop data to the second network device via the network tunnel, wherein the network tunnel traverses a multiple hop network path and disabling echo packets for the BFD session.

    摘要: The disclosure provides a method for determining a configuration mismatch between a first device and a second device. During operation, a first device receives a plurality of Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) protocol messages from a second device. The first device is configured with a first interval configuration value corresponding to a frequency which the first device sends the UDLD protocol messages to the second device. The first device determines a second interval configuration value of the second device, which corresponds to a frequency which the second device sends the UDLD protocol messages to the first device. The first device determines that there is a configuration mismatch between the first device and the second device, and creates a log entry for the configuration mismatch, the log entry including the first and second interval configuration values.
