Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (S-BFD)
for Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification (VCCV)
Abstract
This document defines Seamless BFD (S-BFD) for VCCV by extending the
procedures and Connectivity Verification (CV) types already defined
for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for Virtual Circuit
Connectivity Verification (VCCV).
This document updates RFC 5885 by extending the CV Type values and
the capability selection.

RFC 7885 Seamless BFD for VCCV July 2016
1. Background
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for Virtual Circuit
Connectivity Verification (VCCV) [RFC5885] defines the CV Types for
BFD using VCCV, protocol operation, and the required packet
encapsulation formats. This document extends those procedures and
CV Type values to enable Seamless BFD (S-BFD) [RFC7880] operation
for VCCV.
The new S-BFD CV Types are Pseudowire (PW) demultiplexer agnostic and
hence are applicable for both MPLS and Layer Two Tunneling Protocol
version 3 (L2TPv3) PW demultiplexers. This document concerns itself
with the S-BFD VCCV operation over Single-Segment PWs (SS-PWs). The
scope of this document is as follows:
o This specification describes procedures for S-BFD asynchronous
