[WAJ] PUA has no relation with RIFT. I have not yet study what’s problem it 
encountered, but welcome the experts have such design experience to point out 
the pitfall that PUA can bypass.

[WAJ] PUA will try to avoid the solution that can only fit some special 
topology or address schema.

[WAJ] “timer” is not uncommon in IGP protocol. Using it within PUA mechanism is 
just to assure the service switch successfully upon it receives the PUA.

[WAJ] Would you like to state the above conclusion more clearly?
