Hi Jared,

​If you are up to fail-open on restart (I guess this is what you mean by
"internal-failures") and in fact in general regarding your entire draft IMO
the only way to really enforce anything of that scope is to update 4271
with the new eBGP rules and state machine.

Otherwise I do not believe that BCP will  be out of the sudden honored by
vendors. Also I do not think it will be justified to be accept globally as
an OS upgrade without such strong enforcement.

Thx,
r.
