Hi, Peter:

The differences between our proposals are just how to indicate the PUA/UPA 
information along with the advertised prefixes. All other mechanisms/procedures 
are the same, right?

Then one simple way for the convergence is just the encoding: Let the 
unreachable prefixes associated with “prefix originator”(with the value set to 
NULL”) and also set its metrics to MAX-Value.

Other parts can follow the current PUA drafts, which we have discussed 
intensively in the list and I think you have no any objections.

Anyway, to make the UPA mechanism take effect, you will also require the router 
be upgraded. And the “Max-Value” solution doesn’t necessarily indicate the 
prefix is lost. We should announce such information explicitly.

We can also discuss other convergence solutions.
