## 3.2 Custom monitoring for VTEP liveness detection.
In the orignal design of Overlay-ECMP, BFD was used for livness detection fo VTEP. But BFD may not be supported by all types of VTEPs. In some cases a user may want to use their own custom protocol for livness detection. This enhacement allows for such a mechanism. The Orchagent creates an entry in the VNET_MONITOR_TABLE in APP DB if it recieves the "monitoring" = "custom" attribute in the VNET_ROUTE_TUNNEL_TABLE entry. The orchaagent then listens on VNET_MONITOR_TABLE in the STATE DB to monitor the livness of the VTEP.

add a diagram to futher explain this . how the custom monitoring is chosen and that we cannot have both custom and BFD monitoring in the same tunnel route endpoints.

| Multiple primary backups. Multiple primary recovery. Endpoint list = [A, B, C, A’, A’, B’, C’] Primary = [A, B, C]  | NH = [A]  | A is Up. B, C also come up  | NH=[A, B, C]  | Primary endpoints take precedence and are added to the NH.  |

Can we capture the module interaction as well for custom monitoring by enhancing the diagram ?

Sure I'll add that

A new table in state DB is being added to recieve the response form the custom monitoring module to indicate endpoint liveness.

```
VNET_MONITOR_TABLE|{{endpoint}}|{{ip_addr}}

Dont we need vnet_name also as a key?

A new table **VNET_MONITOR_TABLE** has been added to send the endpoint information to the custom monitoring module.

```
VNET_MONITOR_TABLE:{{endpoint}}:{{ip_prefix}}
