In current SONiC implementation BFD relies on kernel network stack to switch the BFD packet to next available nexthop when a active nexthop goes down. BFD timers in this case is directly proportional to the time it takes for kernel to get the nexthop down event. Faster the kernel learns active nexthop is down the more aggressive BFD timers can be. In this case it is suggested to configure BFD timer values to have a timeout of atleast 600 msec.

Today I couldn't find any BFD usage in sonic-swss. Are any SAI BFD APIs planned to be used or is it all managed in control plane?

Is 64 a hard limit? Do you have any test result for the maximum number of sessions?
