Subject: Any relation to BFD? (was: I-D Action: draft-li-bfd-somfdl-00.txt)

Hello to the BFD community,

the below draft, why is this in the BFD area?

While the topic of "fast detection" fits I see references to BFD only in the Introduction and the security considerations sections, and there in a fairly generic way.

Maybe I'm missing the obvious and how does this draft relate to the BFD protocol?

Regards, Marc
