Yes, I understand BFD. The question is, do carriers usually do BFD
with customers? And if they say no, are there other remedies? AT&T
doesn't seem to be even willing to change BGP timers. If anyone have
been able to talk AT&T or Qwest in doing so, it would really help to
find out how they convinced them. They are such a big bureaucracies
that it's frustrating to do anything that makes sense. Although Qwest
seems a lot more responsive than AT&T.
