IMPROVE THE CONVERGENCE OF MISSION-CRITICAL NETWORKS WITH BIDIRECTIONAL FORWARDING DETECTION (BFD)
BFD在我之前準備SP CCIE LAB時就曾經提及過,目前sp ccie lAB中ios vERSION暫時尚未支援此功能,但是這個新功能在未來的r&s OR sp CCIE中應該會是一個很好的題材,因為它可以達到比縮減HELLO TIMER的方式更快速的收歛。 以下的文章摘錄自nli( http://www.nil.com/ipcorner/bfd/ ),內容相當詳實比Cisco官網更容易了解,在此推薦給各位參考。 IMPROVE THE CONVERGENCE OF MISSION-CRITICAL NETWORKS WITH BIDIRECTIONAL FORWARDING DETECTION (BFD) by Ivan Pepelnjak A few years ago, we measured network convergence times in seconds, and aimed to establish an alternate path across the network following a link or node failure within a few seconds. Ten seconds was a sensible number that wouldn’t upset users (assuming that the failures weren’t too common) and definitely wouldn’t break TCP sessions. (The DLSw local termination would take care of the leftovers of the SNA networks.) The only environments aiming at sub-second convergence times were real-time mission-critical applications, from industrial control to battlefield communications. The introduction of Voice over IP (VoIP) into the data networks changed the rules compl
