def _get_bfd(self):
return self.__bfd<EOL>
Getter method for bfd, mapped from YANG variable /rbridge_id/ipv6/router/ospf/bfd (container)

YANG Description: BFD provides rapid detection of the failure of a forwarding path by checking that the next-hop device is alive. Without BFD enabled, it can take some time to detect that a neighboring device is not operational causing packet loss due to incorrect routing information at a level unacceptable for real-time applications such as VOIP and video over IP. Using BFD, you can detect a forwarding path failure rapidly depending on the configuration.
