Description

Is it possible to configure BGP BFD for contrail node peering to routers (infrastructure)?

Solution

The Contrail Control Node functions solely as a control plane component—it programs routes to the peered routers but does not handle any data plane traffic. Since BFD requires data plane participation to validate the liveliness of the path, it cannot be established between the Control Node and the router. So No it is not possible.
