1. A method of transmitting packets according to a failure detection protocol, the method comprising:

  • storing, at a network device, timer information specifying a periodic time interval for transmitting a failure detection protocol packet for a failure detection protocol; and

    periodically transmitting failure detection protocol packets for the failure detection protocol at times determined based upon the periodic time interval stored for the failure detection protocol;

    wherein the transmitting is performed by a module of the network device other than a processor configured to execute software for processing failure detection protocol packets.
