Agreed on that point.

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:

Have the backbone links carrying this pw been 46.5 weeks stable? That's
a firm NO!

Mark.
