Peter, As I told you many times I do see a need to signal summary member liveness. Otherwise I would not be spending time here.
But what I am trying to discuss is the proposed mechanism of such signalling and possible alternatives. I suggested to you to do selective leaking. I do not recall seeing any answer from you on that. Les acked you did not. Maybe you want to first discuss internally which is fine. So back to the topic. How about you just leak those PEs which went down with a flag "DOWN" and when it comes up you clear that flag. That way the IGP carries the liveness in exactly the same way as today via leaking everything. However you at least is going to be leaking subset not everything. And this is not going to be ephemeral but permanent. Maybe when PE is back stable after 12h or any other long timer you stop leaking. See it is very hard to support a proposal when you - someone who wrote a prototype for it - can not answer basic question on how will it work with just encapsulation. Yet you use p2p tunnel as example on how this is useful. Sure tunnel will go down and will not come up till remote PE is back in business. But with just encap (say mGRE) this is no longer possible as the interface there is p2mp so it can not go down if even one remote PE is still up. Thx, R.
