Hi Ketan,

Can you help me understand what you’re driving toward with this comment?

In addition to the above text change suggestions, I would remind that strict 
following of post-convergence is not guaranteed by TI-LFA as it depends on the 
protection scheme selected. There is the following text that explains this 
scenario in Appendix A.

Readers should be aware that FRR protection is pre-computing a backup path to 
protect against a particular type of failure (link, node, SRLG). When using the 
post-convergence path as FRR backup path, the computed post-convergence path is 
the one considering the failure we are protecting against. This means that FRR 
is using an expected post-convergence path, and this expected post-convergence 
path may be actually different from the post-convergence path used if the 
failure that happened is different from the failure FRR was protecting against. 
As an example, if the operator has implemented a protection against a node 
failure, the expected post-convergence path used during FRR will be the one 
considering that the node has failed. However, even if a single link is failing 
or a set of links is failing (instead of the full node), the node-protecting 
post-convergence path will be used. The consequence is that the path used 
during FRR is not optimal with respect to the failure that has actually 
occurred.

I agree with your statement; however, I’m a little baffled as to how it 
connects with the rest of the conversation.

Thanks,

—John
