Hi Aijun,

> Stuffing things in the IGP seems like a poor way of determining that =
there=E2=80=99s a BGP failure.  Wouldn=E2=80=99t BFD be a more =
appropriate way of determining the loss of connectivity?  Or aggressive =
BGP keepalive timers?
> [WAJ] For BFD, you need to configure between each pair of them to =
track the connectivity.  For BGP keeplive times, the duration is too =
long.


You have to configure BGP on both sides too.

Most implementations do allow you to change the timers.


>> The other side of BGP peer can quickly remove the BGP session when it =
receives such PUA message which tell it the other peer is down now. =
Other BGP peer protection procedures can then take effects on.
>> The immediate notification of the failure prefix can certainly =
accelerate the switchover of BGP control plane and also the service =
traffic that such BGP session carries.

Because it=E2=80=99s not a service (un)availability protocol. It=E2=80=99s=
 a reachability and path computation function.  That is it=E2=80=99s =
role in the architecture.  Asking it to do something else is a violation =
of the architecture.

Routing protocols are not transport protocols. Or dump trucks. Or =
service advertisement protocols.


> That seems 100% unnecessary as the longer prefix will attract the =
traffic in the way that you want.
> [WAJ] If the ABR advertises such detail prefix, it will certainly =
attract the traffic. But here the PUA message is just to trigger the ABR =
to advertise such detail prefix, or else, such ABR will still advertise =
the summary address.


You don=E2=80=99t need the PUA message. The ABR can see the loss of =
topology and can realize that it=E2=80=99s the best path to the prefix =
and can then advertise the explicit longer prefix in addition to the =
normal summary.
