Introduction to Micro-BFD ( BFD over Port channel) Micro BFD sessions are those that run on member links of the port channel. Micro BFD sessions are available for both LACP and non-LACP-based port channels. This approach provides faster failure detection because BFD sessions are formed on individual port-channel interfaces.
