      I’m deploying a network where the routers have redundant VPN connections and are a “hub and spoke configuration.” All in all, I’ll have about 50 BFD peers, so I’m a little concerned about CPU usage. Does anyone know if the XG-7100 offloads it’s BFD computations or is it handled by the CPU?

        @wblanton XG-7100 offloads to what? Its not an enterprise-grade hardware with dedicated ASICs like what comes with Ciscos or Junipers.

        Firewall: NetGate 6100/7100U, Palo Alto
        Routing: Juniper MX204 , Arista 7050X3
        Switching: Juniper EX/QFX. Arista 7050SX
        Wireless: Unifi, Aruba IAP

          @wblanton FRR does not currently by default do any asic offload of BFD. 50 BFD peers should be ok on modern cpu's I would think though
