[ixpmanager] BFD for BGP sessions on BIRD RS - Your experiences?

[Mauricio Oviedo]

Hi Everyone,

A recent discussion came about implementing BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) for BGP sessions with IXP members that request it, and I would love to hear from those who have experience with this.

Specifically interested in:
- Are you currently offering BFD as an option for member BGP sessions?
- Implementation approach (Bird template modifications, etc.)
- What benefits have you and your members observed?
- Any operational challenges or gotchas during deployment?
- Impact on your route server performance or stability?

Any insights on member reception, operational considerations, or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Mauricio
