No, summary can’t achieve the same aim of the “Explicit Withdrawn Signal”, for example, switch back to the application’s original state.

Please note, stop sending the UPA message doesn’t mean the prefix is reachable again. If there is no EWS, then the network can’t back to its original state before the UPA signaling when the reachable of prefix recover. there is still a summary that covers the prefix reachability.

Peter The sent UPA message will eventually trigger the action on the receiver, even the prefix is reachable immediately. 2) In normal situations, the ABR sends the UPA message for some time and stop sending it further. At this time, when the prefix becomes reachable, nothing needs to be done at ABR. The receiver will also act on the UPA signaling. It’s irrelevant then whether the prefix is reachable or not after the UPA signaling is sent out.

Second is when the prefix reachability was regained before the UPA was withdrawn. It basically says UPA must be withdrawn at the time the prefix becomes reachable. “UPA advertisements SHOULD therefore be withdrawn after some amount of time, that would provides sufficient time for UPA to be flooded network-wide and acted upon by receiving nodes, but limits the presence of UPA in the network.” And: “ABR or ASBR MUST withdraw the previously advertised UPA when the reason for which the UPA was generated was lost - e.g. prefix reachability was restored or its metric has changed such that it does not represent the protocol specific maximum prefix metric.” Here, does “withdraw” just mean to “stop advertisement”? yes. Peter If no, what’s the mechanism of second “withdraw”?

Especially, the activation of flawed LSInfinity feature(there is detail analysis for this flawed feature that is defined in OSPF 2328). And, some updated contents will deteriorate the traffic pattern within the network. For example, It says: “ABR or ASBR MUST withdraw the previously advertised UPA when the reason for which the UPA was generated was lost”. The above requirement will advertise the specific prefixes within the network, which will weaken the original summary effect, and attract the traffic via one or some of ABRs. no, above is not true, the new text does not say to advertise reachablity for a summarized prefix, it only talks about removing the previously advertised UPA.

It is a work item of the Link State Routing (LSR) WG of the IETF. Title: IGP Unreachable Prefix Announcement Authors: Peter Psenak Clarence Filsfils Daniel Voyer Shraddha Hegde Gyan Mishra Name: draft-ietf-lsr-igp-ureach-prefix-announce-06.txt Pages: 14 Dates: 2025-05-22 Abstract: In the presence of summarization, there is a need to signal loss of reachability to an individual prefix covered by the summary. This enables fast convergence by steering traffic away from the node which owns the prefix and is no longer reachable. This document describes how to use the existing protocol mechanisms in IS-IS and OSPF, together with the two new flags, to advertise such prefix reachability loss.
