Hi,
I just tried to enable BFD for some OSPF and BGP connections and ran
into an issue which BFD sessions flapping up and down and Bird logging
many messages like these:
  bfd1: Bad packet from fe80::2 - unknown session id (130079069)
  bfd1: Bad packet from fe80::2 - unknown session id (3102513000)
  bfd1: Bad packet from fe80::2 - unknown session id (3650438750)
  bfd1: Bad packet from fe80::2 - unknown session id (1597034259)
This presumably happens due to this piece of code in bfd_rx_hook() in
proto/bfd/packets.c:
  s = bfd_find_session_by_addr(p, sk->faddr);
I use fe80::1/fe80::2 as addresses for most of my IPv6 peering
connections and sk->faddr is just a 128 bit value, so it contains no
interface identifier, which likely leads to Bird confusing multiple BFD
sessions.
Regards,
Julian
