Doug, Please do go ahead and expand passive BFD. Everyone on one route server followed by the second route server a few days later should be fine. -- Richard

I think there is a lot more bilateral BGP going on across MICE than you think. While I probably go talk to anybody, I have 11 unilateral peers on MICE besides the two route servers.
I think BFD for BGP would do a lot more good than BGP filtering if people would implement it.
Speaking of that, I have passive BFD testing on route server #1 for quite some time. I've heard of zero problems.
I would like to go more widespread than the test people (ie. offer it to every member connection on route server #1)
Since it is passive, the member end drives it, if they do it, the route server will do it, if they don't, nothing else happens. I'd also like to roll out passive BFD as default for new members.
