considered for UMH selection, which will result in the downstream PE
to failover to the upstream PE which is next in the list of
candidates. If rules to determine the state of the P-tunnel are not
consistent across all PEs, then some may arrive at a different
conclusion regarding the state of the tunnel, In such a scenario,
procedures described in Section 9.1.1 of [RFC6513] MUST be used.
A downstream PE monitors the status of the tunnels of UMHs that are For a given downstream PE and a given VRF, the P-tunnel corresponding

the UMH candidates in the following order: downstream PE to select an Upstream PE.
o first, the UMH candidates that either (a) advertise a PMSI bound o The first two options select the Upstream PE from a candidate PE
to a tunnel, where the specified tunnel is not known to be down or set either based on IP address or a hashing algorithm. When used

o second, the UMH candidates that advertise a PMSI bound to a tunnel o

S-PMSI).
If the resulting candidate set is empty, then the procedure is
repeated without considering the P-tunnel status.
o The third option uses the installed UMH Route (i.e., the "best"
route towards the C-root) as the Selected UMH Route, and its
originating PE is the selected Upstream PE. With the optional
procedure of considering P-tunnel status as in this document, the
Selected UMH Route is the best one among those whose originating
PE's P-tunnel is not "down". If that does not exist, the
installed UMH Route is selected regardless of the P-tunnel
status.
