Hey Peter,

Well ok so let's forget about LDP - cool !

So IGP sends summary around and that is all what is needed.

So the question why not propage information that PE went down in service
signalling - today mainly BGP.

>   And forget BFD, does not scale with 10k PEs.

You missed the point. No one is proposing full mesh of BFD sessions between
all PEs. I hope so at least.

PE is connected to RRs so you need as many BFD sessions as RR to PE BGP
sessions. Once that session is brought down RR has all it needs to trigger
a message (withdraw or implicit withdraw) to remove the broken service
routes in a scalable way.

Thx,
R.

PS. Yes we still need to start support signalling of unreachability in BGP
itself when BGP is used for underlay but this is a bit different use case
and outside of scope of LSR
