   [RFC7794] and [I-D.ietf-lsr-ospf-prefix-originator
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wang-lsr-prefix-unreachable-annoucement-05#ref-I-D.ietf-lsr-ospf-prefix-originator>]
draft both define
   one sub-tlv to announce the originator information of the one prefix
   from a specified node.  This draft utilizes such TLV for both OSPF
   and ISIS to signal the negative prefix in the perspective PUA when a
   link or node goes down.

   ABR detects link or node down and floods PUA negative prefix
   advertisement along with the summary advertisement according to the
   prefix-originator specification.  The ABR or ISIS L1-L2 border node
   has the responsibility to add the prefix originator information when
   it receives the Router LSA from other routers in the same area or
   level.


When the ABR or ISIS L1-L2 border node generates the summary
   advertisement based on component prefixes, the ABR will announce one
   new summary LSA or LSP which includes the information about this down
   prefix, with the prefix originator set to NULL.  The number of PUAs
   is equivalent to the number of links down or nodes down.  The LSA or
   LSP will be propagated with standard flooding procedures.

   If the nodes in the area receive the PUA flood from all of its ABR
   routers, they will start BGP convergence process if there exist BGP
   session on this PUA prefix.  The PUA creates a forced fail over
   action to initiate immediate control plane convergence switchover to
   alternate egress PE.  Without the PUA forced convergence the down
   prefix will yield black hole routing resulting in loss of
   connectivity.

   When only some of the ABRs can't reach the failure node/link, as that
   described in Section 3.2
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wang-lsr-prefix-unreachable-annoucement-05#section-3.2>,
the ABR th.at can reach the PUA prefix
   should advertise one specific route to this PUA prefix.  The internal
   routers within another area can then bypass the ABRs that can't reach
   the PUA prefix, to reach the PUA prefix.


The second comment is that using the prefix-originator TLV is a terrible

The workaround used today is to flood all /32 next hop prefixes and not
