Symptoms

BFD FLAPPING ON MULTI DEVICES.

No packet drop is seen on Queue 3.

Based on packet capture done from remote device, BFD packets were delivered after BFD flap, e.g. BFD packet delay.

Solution

Modified QoS setting to allocate high priority and guaranteed bandwidth on BFD packet of queue 3.
