Usage Scenario
Bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) techniques are mature. When a large number of BFD sessions are configured to monitor links, the negotiation time of the existing BFD state machine is lengthened. In this situation, seamless bidirectional forwarding detection (SBFD) can be configured to monitor SR tunnels. It is a simplified BFD state machine that shortens the negotiation time and improves network-wide flexibility. To enable SBFD to monitor SR-MPLS BE tunnels, run the seamless-bfd enable command.
Prerequisites
BFD and SBFD have been enabled using the bfd and sbfd commands, respectively.
