What is a function of BFD?
BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) is a protocol used for rapid detection of communication failures between two devices, regardless of the underlying media type or routing protocol. This makes failure detection independent of routing protocols and media types a fundamental characteristic of BFD.
correct, BFD detects failure without necessitating a specific routing protocol or media type.
BFD is a detection protocol designed to provide fast forwarding path failure detection times for all media types, encapsulations, topologies, and routing protocols. source: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/12_0s/feature/guide/fs_bfd.html
