Hey Peter,

If there is none available, nothing will happen. > Oh really ? Is that so ? That's not what you have been saying all along by stating that PULSE will bring down IPSec Tunnel. Same for BGP based services. If I receive a PULSE stating that my PE is down why would I continue to pump Gb/s data to such PE even if there is only single BGP path to it. not really, you can act on first one and ignore the same pulse from > other source that comes later. Unless the area partition case the first > pulse is guaranteed to mean the destination is unreachable. Absolutely not. I cam have control plane issue on the ABRs while data plane works fine. Needless to say while all PEs work fine as well. > For area > partition case the pulse may trigger the switch to alternate source of > service, which is a good thing as has been described earlier. I am not that much worried (as alluded to Tony P) for the local area partitioned case. I am much more worried about false positive PULSE. See this is a knife without the ability to self heal the wound. Best, R.
