Abstract
Techniques are described for generating and using an extended Bi-directional Forwarding Detection (BFD) control packet in a network. The extended BFD control packet includes a control message that includes a BFD session information, an identifier associated with the device sending the BFD control packet, and a payload part. The extended BFD control packet may be used to perform packet loss and/or packet delay related measurements.
