Shraddha,

the problem is that the node that is advertising the node-sid can not advertise any data regarding the protection of such prefix, because the prefix is locally attached.

thanks,
Peter

Peter,

If there is a service which has to use un-protected path and while building 
such a path if the node-sids
Need to be used (one reason could be label stack compression) , then there has 
to be unprotected node-sid that
this service can make use of.

Prefix -sids could also be used to represent different service endpoints which 
makes it even more relevant to have
A means of representing  unprotected paths.

Would be good to hear from others on this, especially operators.

Shraddha,

node-SID is advertised by the router for the prefix that is directly attached 
to it. Protection for such local prefix does not mean much.

thanks,
Peter

Authors,
We have a "backup flag" in adjacency sid to indicate whether the label
is protected or not.
Similarly. I think we need a flag in prefix-sid as well to indicate
whether the node-sid is to be protected or not.
Any thoughts on this?
