A data model can be customized by a user and executed in real-time at a network device. The user provides definitions for the customized data model based on a data model locally stored on the network device. The user provided definitions are used to generate a mapping contract which is processed by a mapping package generator to generate a mapping package. The mapping package can then be processed by a translation engine to dynamically execute a customized data model in real-time.

Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, computer-storage media, mechanisms, and means associated with Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on multilink bundled interfaces. A packet switching device communicates with another packet switching device through a multilink bundled interface configured for communicating over a plurality of bundled communication links. A separate BFD session is conducted over each link of the multiple bundled communication links, and in response to a BFD-detected failure condition, the use of the one or more links or the entire bundled interface is removed from service.
