RE: Multi-homed clients and BGP timers

["Ivan Pepelnjak" <ip () ioshints info>]

For BFD to work, you need: 

* ISR + 12.4(15)T (or later)
* 7200 with 12.4T or 12.2SRx
* 7600/6500/GSR + 12.2SRB (or later)
* ASR

A complete list is at the bottom of this document:

You'll find some more BFD details and usage guidelines here:
