Thanks, In situation that path 1 is primary, path 2 is alternate, when
path 1 failed, traffic migrates to path 2. Now we can think that path 2
is primary, but there is no alternate path.

Is there a way (not limited to cm) to know that path 1 is back again and
reload it as the new alternate path ? If path 1 is down, we can not set
it as alternate path, right ?

If we can not bring a path back on fly, the usage of APM is limited.

The cm doesn't know that it's back.  It records the original path used
when sending the REQ and uses that same path for all future messages.
