We all agree the request is legitimate.

But do they realize that to practically employ what you are proposing (new
PDU flooding) requires 100% software upgrade to all IGP nodes in the entire
network ? Do they also realize that to effectively use it requires data
plane change (sure software but data plane code is not as simple as PI) on
all ingress PEs ?

And with scale requirements you are describing it seems this would be 1000s
of nodes (if not more). That's massive if compared to
alternative approaches to achieve the same or even better results.

Many thx,
Robert
