After I configure BFD, why does failover take longer than expected on my AWS Direct Connect connection?

I turned on graceful restart and Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for my AWS Direct Connect connection for fast failure detection and failover. However, I have failover delays or connection issues.

Resolution

To avoid failover or connection issues, it's a best practice not to configure graceful restart and BFD at the same time. For fast failover, configure BFD without graceful restart turned on. For more information, see BGP quotas.
