Just FYI. Almost every launcher that offers commercial services has such a user manual. I was involved in preparing one such manual. A collection of these manuals can be quite entertaining for 5 year olds. You should be able to easily find them from the websites of the respective companies or agencies.
In addition to equvinox (hey again):
In enterprise networks you should rely on 802.1x or what's also valid use case is the use of ipsec to ensure the local client connection is "safe".
Some 802.1x have inherent mitm attacks that have been called out since 2004 and never got the v2 (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6677.html). EAP-TLS however is the best practice here + VLANs.
I.e. bird detects interface failure but this affects only your side of decision making.
For bidirectional failure detection you do BFD with BGB. BFD default timers are 3 times 30 ms, iirc.
You can configure your assigned network numbers that other AS are allowed to announce certain networks of your own. Not uncommon for in examples authoritative name server addresses.
