BFD sessions with FFR (VyOS) won't establish

Hi,

There were reports here in the list that some BFD peers do not allow
connections from non-standard ports and bird do not choose source port
specifically. So you might need to tune your sysctl like that:

net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 49152 65535

Not sure if this is the case, but I would try that first.

Regards,
Alexander
