RTT is immaterial. What you need to ask is what is your vendor SLA
regarding packet loss as well as what is their convergence budget. You
do not want to detect BFD down for operator re-routable problems.
Personally I would encourage to ignore BFD and ask for link-down
propagation. In Junos should propagation would be 'set interfaces X
gigether-options asynchronous-notification'.
