Perhaps an option for the LDP heads is LDP Session Protection, which is supported by the major vendors. I don't use it in my network, though. Again, my main focus is maintaining a super stable IGP, one that can converge quickly enough for the upper-layer protocols (and data plane) not to notice. Features in upper-layer protocols that speed up convergence are also exploited in my network to ensure data plane changes happen as quickly (but as simply) as possible, e.g., the Indirect Next Hop feature. As an example, below is a revenue-generating p2p LDP-based EoMPLS circuit that has been up 46.5 weeks: tinka@device-re0# run show l2circuit connections neighbor aaa.bb.c.129 extensive <snip> ...

That's a firm NO! Mark. _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
