Configuring BFD for static routes

	IMPORTANT: Enabling BFD for a flapping route could worsen the situation.

BFD provides a general-purpose, standard, medium-, and protocol-independent fast failure detection mechanism. It can uniformly and quickly detect the failures of the bidirectional forwarding paths between two routers for protocols, such as routing protocols and MPLS.
