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.

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.

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,
