Robert,

BGP PIC depends on the IGP convergence. We are not changing any of that by UPA.

thanks,

Peter,

All I am saying is that this may be pretty slow if even directly attached P routers must way say 6 seconds (3 x 2 sec BFD) to declare peer down.

And that is in contrast to running BFD from say BGP RR to all PEs in an area.

The fundamental point is that in the case of PUA you MUST wait for all P routers to tell you that PE in fact went down. While in case of invalidating service routes the first trigger is good enough.

To me this is significant architectural difference.

Many thx,
R.

    ABR has the full visibility of the local area and knows when any
    node or
    prefix becomes unreachable. It is determined by the SPF computation and
    prefix processing that is triggered as a result of the change in the
    local area.

    thanks,
    Peter
