### BfdOrch | ||
Sonic may offload the BFD session handling to hardware that has BFD capabilities. A new module, BfdOrch shall be introduced to handle BFD session to monitoring endpoints and check the health of remote endpoints. BfdOrch shall offload the session initiation/sustenance to hardware via SAI APIs and gets the notifications of session state from SAI. The session state shall be updated in STATE_DB and to any other observer orchestration agents. |

The path from SYNCD to ORCH is quite slow, in such cases the BFD state notification from SYNCD to BFDOrch may add a delta to the desired BFD timeout. The actual BFD timeout achieved may be significantly higher than desired timeout.
