Fast failure detection in VRRP with S-BFD
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) protocol depends on
IPv4 or IPv6 connectivity between redundant peers and can use
Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (S-BFD) to detect a
Primary Router failure faster than the base VRRP advertisement
timers.
This document describes an extension that allows VRRP to use S-BFD as
an additional failure-detection mechanism. It defines a new VRRP
packet type, a dedicated timer, and a mechanism for a VRRP Primary
Router to advertise an S-BFD reflector discriminator to Backup
Routers. Local discriminator allocation is left to the
implementation.
