This is why in LISP the ITR simply RLOC-probes each RLOC in the locator-set and 
not concerned with the multiple paths to each RLOC. So if RLOC-probing or 
echo-noncing determines an RLOC is unreachable, we just switch to another RLOC.

I am not sure if the LISP overlay had Segment Routing underneath it, that it 
could really stay with an RLOC that has just gone down if it could select 
another SR path to that RLOC. Maybe we are just splitting hairs too thinly here.
