BFD: add support for passive mode
Closed, ResolvedPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

Mark session as passive: a passive session will not attempt to start the connection and will wait for control packets from peer before it begins replying.

This feature is useful when you have a router that acts as the central node of a star network and you want to avoid sending BFD control packets you don’t need to.

The default is active-mode
