[WAJ] For your proposed BGP solutions, Peter has responded you and I agree with 
his opinions with the followings additional comments:
[Option 1]: Can’t get the PIC effect. We should track the reachability of BGP 
NH.
[Option 2]: Even you tell the remote PE via BGP that it’s peer is down, but the 
IGP  is still telling him reachable. Will it puzzle the receiving node? 
[Option 3] BGP-LS is mainly used for transferring the topology information 
northbound to controller, we seldom use it to distribute topology information 
within the underlying network itself. This is IGP’s work.

[WAJ] If not via configuration, how to accomplish the selective reaction?

[WAJ] No. After the PUA advertise period, only the normal summary address will 
be remained. We focus only the “Down” moment, not “Down” state.

[WAJ] If there is no other mechanism/protocol to bring up it, it will remain 
down.
