Well you do not have any protocol way to assure that operational
configuration mistakes will not result in inconsistent routing.
But overall I do agree that for the vast majority of applications that
concern is not really applicable ? In fact I would be happy if you limit
the UPA scope *only* for services which use end to end encapsulation.
that is certainly the main use case we are targeting.
It is also important to observe that this is not negative routing and
that P nodes will continue to forward packets to destinations marked as
UPA as the information will not be really reflected as holes/drops in
their respective FIBs.
that is indeed the case. The forwarding based on the less specific route
is not affected by UPA.
thanks,
Peter

chapter 7 of the draft says:
"Processing of the received UPAs is optional and SHOULD be
controlled by
the configuration at the receiver. The receiver itself, based on its
configuration, decides what the UPA will be used for and what
applications, if any, will be notified when UPA is received."
So we have a way to achieve consistency if it is ever needed. For most
cases, the network wide consistency is not needed.
thanks,
Peter
