A few years ago I did some testing and found that the time between the transceiver detecting LOS and the routing protocol (ISIS in this case) being informed that the link was down (triggering the recalculation) took longer than it took BFD to signal ISIS to recalculate.

The (2x) dark fiber links from PA to FL are being used as Layer3 datacenter interconnects, where each datacenter has its own AS. The DF is also carrying FCIP traffic, so we need failover to be as fast as possible.

Silly question perhaps, but why would you do BFD on dark fiber? Kind regards, Job This message is intended solely for the designated recipient(s).
