operational simplification of "sessionless" applications using Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), in thisdocumentdocument, we present procedures for "unsolicited BFD" that allow a BFD session to be initiated by only oneside,side and established without explicit per-session configuration or registration by the other side (subject to certain per-interface or global policies). </t> <t> We also introduce a new YANG module to configure and manage "unsolicited BFD". The YANG module in this document is based on YANG1.11.1, as defined in RFC79507950, and conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture(NMDA)(NMDA), as described in RFC 8342. This document augments RFC 9314. </t> </abstract><note title="Requirements Language"> <t> The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 <xref target="RFC2119"/> <xref target="RFC8174"/> when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. </t> </note></front> <middle> <section anchor="intro"title="Introduction">numbered="true" toc="default"> <name>Introduction</name> <t> The current implementation and deployment practice for BFD (<xreftarget="RFC5880"/>target="RFC5880" format="default"/> and <xreftarget="RFC5881"/>)target="RFC5881" format="default"/>) usually requires that BFD sessions be explicitly configured or registered on both sides. This requirement is not an issue when an application like BGP <xreftarget="RFC4271"/>target="RFC4271" format="default"/> has the concept of a "session" that involves both sides for its establishment. However, this requirement can be operationally challenging when the prerequisite "session" does not naturally exist between two endpoints in an application. Simultaneous configuration and coordination may be required on both sides for BFD to take effect. For example: </t><t> <list style="symbols"> <t><ul spacing="normal"> <li> When BFD is used to keep track of the "liveness" of thenexthopnext hop of static routes. Although only one side may need the BFD functionality,currentlycurrently, both sides need to be involved in specific configuration andcoordinationcoordination, and in somecasescases, static routes are created unnecessarily just for BFD.</t> <t></li> <li> When BFD is used to keep track of the "liveness" of thethird-pary nexthopthird-party next hop of BGP routes received from the Route Server <xreftarget="RFC7947"/>target="RFC7947" format="default"/> at an Internet Exchange Point (IXP). As the third-partynexthopnext hop is different from the peering address of the Route Server, for BFD to work,currentlycurrently, two routers peering with the Route Server need to have routes andnexthopsnext hops from each other (although indirectly via the Route Server).</t> </list> </t></li> </ul> <t>ClearlyClearly, it is beneficial and desirable to reduce or eliminate unnecessary configurations and coordination in these "sessionless" applications using BFD. </t> <t> In thisdocumentdocument, we present procedures for "unsolicited BFD" that allow a BFD session to be initiated by only oneside,side and established without explicit per-session configuration or registration by the other side (subject to certain per-interface or global policies). </t> <t>Unsolicited BFD impacts only the initiation of BFD sessions. There is no change to all the other procedures specified in <xreftarget="RFC5880"/>target="RFC5880" format="default"/>, such as, but not limited to, the Echo function and Demand mode.</t> <t> With "unsolicitedBFD"BFD", there is potential risk for excessive resource usage by BFD from "unexpected" remote systems. To mitigate such risks, several mechanisms are recommended in the Security Considerations section. </t> <t>The procedure described in this document could be applied to BFD forMultihopmultihop paths <xreftarget="RFC5883"/>.target="RFC5883" format="default"/>. However, because of security risks, this document applies only to BFD for single IP hops <xreftarget="RFC5881"/>.</t>target="RFC5881" format="default"/>.</t> <t> Compared to the "Seamless BFD" <xreftarget="RFC7880"/>,target="RFC7880" format="default"/>, this proposal involves only minor procedural enhancements to the widely deployed BFD itself. Thus, we believe that this proposal is inherently simpler in the protocol itself and deployment. As an example, it does not require the exchange of BFD discriminators over an out-of-band channel before BFD session bring-up. </t> <t> When BGPAdd-PathADD-PATH <xreftarget="RFC7911"/>target="RFC7911" format="default"/> is deployed at an IXP using a Route Server, multiple BGP paths (when they exist) can be made available to the clients of the RouteServerServer, as described in <xreftarget="RFC7947"/>.target="RFC7947" format="default"/>.
