Information
Protocol Liveness is a feature that notifies the BFD Manager when a client protocol (e.g OSPF, ISIS) is
disabled. When a client is disabled, all BFD sessions for that protocol are torn down. Neighbors on the
remote system receive an Admin Down control packet and are placed in the Down state. Peer routers
might take corrective action by choosing alternative paths for the routes that originally pointed to this
router.
