That is too vague.

I am asking how you detect that transition on a far away ABR.

For example, are you tracking flooding on all links to subject PE from all
its neighbours and only when all of them remove that link from topology you
signal PUA ?

If so practically such trigger may be pretty slow and inconsistent as in
real networks as links over which PEs are connected are often of a
very different quality, coming from different carriers and may have for
stability varying BFD timers. So here you would have to wait for the
slowest link to be detected on the neighbouring P router as down.

Thx,
R.
