Probe
DHCP sends packets to check if it is a unidirectional link. It enables
the probe sending timer and an echo waiting timer for each target
neighbor.

Disable
DLDP detects a unidirectional link, or finds (in enhanced mode) that
a neighbor disappears. In this case, DLDP does not receive or send

Delaydown
When a device in the active, advertisement, or probe DLDP state
receives a port down message, it does not removes the
corresponding neighbor immediately, neither does it changes to the
inactive state. Instead, it changes to the delaydown state first.

DLDP timers
DLDP works with the following timers:

Advertisement sending timer
Interval of sending advertisement packets, which can be
configured with a command line.
configured with a command line.
By default, the interval is 5 seconds.
Probe sending timer
The interval is 0.5 second. In probe status, DLDP sends two probe
packets every second.
packets every second.
Echo waiting timer
It is enabled when DLDP enters probe status. The timeout time is
10 seconds.
10 seconds.
If no echo packet is received from the neighbor when the Echo
waiting timer expires, the local end is set to unidirectional
communication status and the state machine turns into disable
status. DLDP outputs log and tracking information, sends flush
packets. Depending on the user-defined DLDP down mode,
DLDP disables the local port automatically or prompt the user to
disable the port manually. At the same time, DLDP deletes the
neighbor entry.
