Gyan, IPFRR doesn’t use/need any IGP extensions and is local to the device computing LFA. As RTGWG chair - I welcome you to read a number of rather well written RFCs on the topic we have published in RTGWG over the last 7 years. Pay attention on how LFAs are computed, this would clarify your question as to why there’s no need for additional imposition as well as why LFA provides partial coverage. There’s also TI-LFA draft that explains how TI-LFA is computed and why it relies on additional imposition if LFA is unavailable.
