MICE route reflect hiccup last night?
Our logs show that MICE RR #1 had a hiccup overnight ... none of our other BGP sessions to MICE were interrupted. Did something scheduled happened?

No, but your BFD session received.. 2018-01-09 03:41:40 <RMT> bfd1: Bad packet from 206.108.255.67 - invalid flags (248) That's all I've got related to it in the logs. -- Doug McIntyre <merlyn@iphouse.net> ~.~ ipHouse ~.~ Network Engineer/Provisioning/Jack of all Trades
Thanks. This is why BFD can be so frustrating. So just one bad packet and the BFD session was torn down? Or three in a row?

It is set for missing 3 BFD updates will drop it, but I believe an error condition like "invalid flags (248)" is what caused the issue. I don't see any flags in RFC5880, I suspect source code reading would be next to see what BIRD thought of flags in BFD that aren't mentioned in the RFC.
