1. my question is different. why does the draft say that seqnr# & IDs have
to be preserved between restarts

2. I'm still concerned about L1/L2 hierarchy. If an L2 border sees same
prefix negative pulses from two different L1/L2s  it still has to keep
state to only pulse into L1 after _all_ the guys pulsed negative (which is
basically impossible since the _negative_ cannot persist it seems). Now how
will it even know that? it has to keep track who advertised the same
summary & who pulsed or otherwise it will pulse on anyone with a summary
giving a pulse and with that anycast won't work AFAIS and worse you get
into weird situations where you have 2 L1/L2 into same L1 area, one lost
link to reach the PE (arguably L1 got partitioned) and pulses & then the
L1/L2 on the border of the down L1 pulses and tears the session down albeit
the prefix is perfectly reachable through the other L1/L2. I assume that
parses for the connoscenti ...
