ACP provides a backup DP/CP that allows one to get back to the primary CP so
that it can be fixed.

rfc8368 explains this.
here is the abstract:

Abstract

   Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM), as per BCP 161,
   for data networks is often subject to the problem of circular
   dependencies when relying on connectivity provided by the network to
   be managed for the OAM purposes.

   Provisioning while bringing up devices and networks tends to be more
   difficult to automate than service provisioning later on.  Changes in
   core network functions impacting reachability cannot be automated
   because of ongoing connectivity requirements for the OAM equipment
   itself, and widely used OAM protocols are not secure enough to be
   carried across the network without security concerns.

   This document describes how to integrate OAM processes with an
   autonomic control plane in order to provide stable and secure
   connectivity for those OAM processes.  This connectivity is not
   subject to the aforementioned circular dependencies.
