README for OpenBFDD ******************* ===================== + Use the Wiki ===================== This document contains only very minimal information. More detailed information can be obtained on the projects GitHub wiki, currently located at: https://github.com/dyninc/OpenBFDD/wiki ================ + Intro ================ OpenBFDD is an open source package that provides a software based implantation of the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol. It is designed to run on a server. Its primary purpose is to allow the administrator to quickly take the server off-line when the core service, such as a bind or unbound server, goes down. This is done by providing a BFD "beacon", bfdd-beacon, that can communicate with a properly configured, BFD enabled, router. A control utility, bfdd-control, can be used to configure the running bfdd-beacon daemon, and to change the state of its BFD sessions. ================ + License ================ See the included LICENSE file for licensing information.
