That is directly contradicting the message from Les stating that this is
going to be a rate limit not cut out.

 Is the proposed solution really sound ?

- It *may* signal PE loopback going down only in subset of deployments,
- It *may* signal PE loopback going down only in some types of failure
scenarios,
- It *may* signal PE loopback going down only if the PE going down is lucky
enough among the list of first N to be processed by the ABR
etc ...

Now what about cases where PEs have 10 IPv4 and 20 IPv6 loopbacks - are we
going to trigger pulses containing all of those 30 addresses ?

How about folks not doing next hop self and using peer's IP address for
some SAFIs ? Are we going to also pulse all connected leaves if they are
part of some  summary ?

So pulse is a hint ... if the blind blast succeeds remote PEs *may* trigger
switchover to a backup path (if available).

Don't we have too much uncertainty in this proposal ?

Thx,
R.
