Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) and filtering option for Allegro Packets Network Multimeter
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is a network protocol that is used to detect faults between two routers or switches connected by a link.
BFD is a detection protocol designed to provide fast forwarding path failure detection times for all media types, encapsulations, topologies, and routing protocols. In addition to fast forwarding path failure detection, BFD provides a consistent failure detection method for network administrators. Because the network administrator can use BFD to detect forwarding path failures at a uniform rate, rather than the variable rates for different routing protocol hello mechanisms, network profiling and planning will be easier, and reconvergence time will be consistent and predictable.
Allegro Packets Network Multimeter detects Bidirectional Forwarding. Next to that, you can filter on BFD to get a better insight on faults that occur in this area.
