Wellfleet Breath of Life (BOFL) - any clue what this is?

Hi,

I’ve been investigating some network issues and play around with wireshark in one of our Sites. We have there Avaya VSP (VOSS) switches running and in wireshark I see a massive spam of Packets which are classified as „Wellfleet Breath of Life“ (BOFL) from wireshark. No human readable payload or other useful Information. I want to know what this is but googling is delivering only a very low amount of results.

„sensing Protcol“ (maybe PPP?) - from some very old Network Books. Nothing more - just what the Acronym stands for.

Do you guys have any clue what these packets are and how can I disable the spamming of this into my network?
