Hi Jeffrey,

I understand that informational is the right classification of such
documents. I see two options.
- A single document covering the entire topic.
- Two bier-frr docs (tunnel-based and lfa-based), preferentially using
similar laguage. Then one can talk about RFC 123 or RFC XYZ protection.
If the mechanisms are described within a single document, there is some
potential for confusion. Not sure if an overarching framework for
bier-frr is then still needed.

Regards,

Michael
